Perhaps the windshields are so sharply angled to keep the bugs from
spattering on it.
They'll just slide off in the slip stream.
Wouldn't want to have buggy windshields, don'cha'know (grin)
Now,...... if it was a impact resistant (bullet "proof") glass maybe it
would be to reduce the chances of small arms fire making it through.
Although as we know, no glass is truly bullet "proof". Enough energy at
the right angle and the slug ~~is~~ coming on through.
