This is a fairly broad/general question on an not-so-easy engineering topic.
Are You looking for: (a) 'big picture' aspects of general design, fabrication, testing, installation, maintenance etc for a windshield system [IE: specs/requirements, tech literature, design manuals, etc]; or perhaps (b) the general/detail design aspects of integrating a new windshield system into a new or existing air-vehicle design ; or perhaps (c) detail design, fabrication and assembly elements for a windshield panel from the perspective of a windshield vendor; or (d) design aspects that I haven't yet mentioned, such as: for military aircraft, for spacecraft, ultra-large-bird penetration resistance, etc…; or perhaps (e) a combination of two or more of these aspects/elements listed???

o Trust - But Verify!
o We believe to be true what we prefer to be true.
o For those who believe, no proof is required; for those who cannot believe, no proof is possible.
o Unfortunately, in science what You 'believe' is irrelevant. ["Orion"]
o Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist. [Picasso]
