Thanks, Joe.
I haven't heard anything of this. I was more concerned about the
ability to stand up to windshield wipers without rubbing the plastic
dull.
One aircraft I flew had wipers for low speed use--they would fly off
if used at high speed--not needed then anyway. The windscreen had
an outer layer of glass laminated to the front canopy for a wiper
surface. The screen would build up static charge in flight, and if
an imperfection could concentrate the voltage, separate the outer
glass layer with explosive force. Usually no other damage if it
missed the engines, except for stretching the nylon seat restraints
If this one works, it would be worth looking into. With the
windshield a structural member, changing it every couple of years is
a big deal.
