A window for a vehicle includes at least one transparent pane (30). The transparent pane comprises a deformable material. The transparent pane defines a first surface position h 1 when not subjected to a pressure differential thereacross and a second surface position h 2 when subject to the differential pressure thereacross. The first and second surface positions are defined with reference to an outside mold line. The first surface position h 1 defines a reverse curvature with respect to the outside mold line. In response to the differential pressure P, the second surface position h 2 includes bulging of the transparent pane by a predetermined distance h. The window is connected to a structural exterior surface of the pressurized vehicle without an intermediate frame.
