Humvee Hummer windshield angle why ?

May 01, 2004 1 Replies

The angle of the windshield of Humvee/Hummer is almost vertical at 90 degrees. Why? Since it's a military vehicle, wouldn't you want the windshild at a slant angle to deflect debris and flak? Humvee can have a slant back rear cover for just that purpose. If anyone has a reference, I'd very much appreciated it. Thanks.


it's for the fact of getting less glare from the outside as well as the inside. Also gets a stronger roofline.
