Claim:
An aircraft window which can be opened, comprising: a movable assembly that is movable relative to a fixed frame, the movable assembly including at least one pane, and a movable frame framing the at least one pane; a maneuvering element for maneuvering the movable assembly; a device for opening/closing and locking/unlocking the movable assembly, the device being actuated by the maneuvering element; and a support unit that guides and supports the movable assembly, wherein the fixed frame includes at least one housing for receiving a part of a first lateral rim of the movable frame, the part of the first lateral rim being supported and held in place in the at least one housing when the aircraft window is in a closed position, wherein when the part of the first lateral rim is disposed in the at least one housing, the support unit permits rotation of the movable assembly around an axis of rotation passing through the first lateral rim such that a second lateral rim of the movable frame that is opposite the first lateral rim is movable between a closed position and a disengaged position, wherein the support unit includes a support element connected to the movable assembly, a bearing roller disposed to rotate around the support element, and a ball transfer unit disposed at an end of the support element, the ball transfer unit supporting the movable assembly, and wherein the support element, the device, and the maneuvering element are interconnected via linkage members, such that, when the window is in the closed position, actuation of the maneuvering element simultaneously actuates the device to unlock the window and induces the support element of the support unit to move so as to place the window in the disengaged position.
