Claim:
A transport, comprising: an outer skin having an inner surface, an outer surface and a window opening; a sealed, double-pane window element having two window panes sealed together by a seal and mounted in a window frame, the window frame having a window-frame outer face facing away from an interior of the transport toward an exterior environment, the window-frame outer face having an outer peripheral portion being mounted to the inner surface of the outer skin; and a cover pane having a peripheral portion of an inner surface of the cover pane ventilatingly coupled to an outer surface of a support frame, the window-frame outer face having an inner peripheral portion extending from the outer peripheral portion of the window-frame outer face and extending over a portion of the support frame and the peripheral portion of the inner surface of the cover pane, the support frame having an inner surface of the support frame coupled to the inner peripheral portion of the window-frame outer face such that the window-frame outer face extends across any gap between the outer skin and cover pane, and air pressure between the window element and the cover pane ventilatingly coupled to the outer surface of the support frame equalizes with an air pressure external to the transport, achieving back ventilation of the cover pane.
