I need to know how much the exterior windows of the beoing 777 is worth. like the price.?

Question

i have to know this for a project. I need to know how much boeing buys those windows. then how much does that company that sold to boeing bought it. and on and on till it is the raw material,

Answer 1

Yeah I work in a hardware store in Spokane. We have the contract for Boeings windows. On a side window for a 777, the ones I just cut in the glass department I noticed on the contract we charge Boeing $1,995.50 for, each. I checked with Shirley in bookkeeping and she said that for the amount of glass we used on those, it costs us $4.50 each. But you have to figure my time and labor, I can do about 10 of those an hour and I make minumum wage, so do the math. No shippong costs, as Boeing sends a guy over in a van to pick them up when they need them. I bet the glass company only has like 11 cents of raw materials in that much glass......

Answer 2

Don't have any 777s in the hangar at the moment, but the passenger window asemblies for the 757 are in the part number 65-45790-series (various dash numbers for different locations, etc.). Most of these cross over to p/n 140N2139-1, which has a list price of around $400 each.

Now, if you're talking cockpit windows, those are considerably more pricy. The 757 pilot's #1 window, the 'windshield', also goes by various part numbers, but p/n 141T4800-13 is pretty typical, and it lists for just over $19,000.00 each.

These are a little higher than for older Boeing airplanes, but not by much.

There's quite a bit more to these than I think you may be aware of. They're not just some piece of plastic or glass that you can easily make and slap into place. They're exposed to the full pressurization loads that the rest of the fuselage sees, and they have to withstand the cyclic loading that comes from repeated pressurization loads, on each flight. The cockpit ones are electrically heated (for anti-icing purposes), and have to withstand bird and hail impacts as well. The cockpit ones are also treated to repel water. Both cockpit and passenger window assemblies are designed to be redundant--if the outer pane fails, the inner pane can carry the loads at least long enough to continue the flight safely.

PPG Aircraft Products is one of the manufacturers for Boeing windshields; you might contact them directly.

Answer 3

which window? side window in passenger section, side screen in cockpit, front windscreen in cockpit, inspection windows in the cargo bay?

And which particular aircraft. They have more than one configuration.

Just the start, and no, I don't know any of the costs, doubt you could get an answer for the purchasing agent at Boeing either.

Good Luck, and try a realistic approach to a realistic project. :)

Answer 4

Whether it is an aircraft window or a spark plug for your car, the parts department will tell you how much you can buy it for but they will not give you their cost.

You need to find the retail price, then determine the industry normal markup.

Answer 5

why dont you send us all the question, and then we can do your research work for you?

do you really think someone knows the answer to that?
