Comments on lengthy time to use PPG window on new Boeing:

boeingblogs.com

"G. (Algonac MI):
In regards to the electronic window shades currently being touted for the 787, I feel Boeing will make a change. There's already a better technology being employed by Hawker Beechcraft. It goes between the clear and dark states within seconds (only a couple of seconds- not 30-45). They use a suspended Particle Device technology as opposed to the Electro Chromatic technology you find in your car's rearview mirror. SPD works on plastic as well, thus reducing the weight significantly. I suspect Airbus will be using SPD's to counter Boeing's EC.
