Yes airplane windows open. On passenger jets most windows in the cabin are not designed to open. There are normally two windows in the flight deck that open. On small personal aircraft the windows are normally designed to be opened.
Windows can be opened in flight as long as the cabin is not pressurized. Normally pressurization of the cabin happens in larger aircraft and above 10 000 feet where oxygen is not as plentiful as it is on the ground. When flying that high aircraft are normally pressurized and so that the conditions of hypoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain) do not affect the crew or passengers. Windows are not designed to be opened at high altitiudes and likely can not be opened due to the pressure asserted on the aircraft's frame. Small areas where air can escape from a pressurized cabin, such as a window, can have dire consequences if the difference in pressure inside and outside of the aircraft cause a rapid cabin decompression.

Can you close airplane windows?
You can't open them to begin with. Most airline windows have a shade that can be pulled down.
Why are airplane windows curved?
Why are airplane windows curved? A: This Q is about windows that are NOT flat. Usually curved windows are designed to fit the shape of the airplane so as make the airplane more aerodynamic and not be boxy. Why are airplane windows rounded on the corners? A: One of the first British jets began to crash for no reason. This airplane, the Comet, had large square windows. The investigation discovered that the airplane cracked open at the corners of the windows. This was about the time that engineers began to understand the phenomna of Fatigue. Their tests showed that the corners of the windows resulted in higher stresses and it fatigued the metal. They redeisgned the windows to be rounded and it reduced the stresses and no more planes crashed. Sharp corners in holes of any surface that is carrying a load will increase the stresses. If the corner is changed to a curved edge, then the stresses are lowered. Think of stress as a flow of forces and when it comes to a sharp corner, the flow can't go around the corner.
Why don't windows open on an airplane?
1. The plane is pressurized so you can breed. If you open a window the plane just explode. 2. In low flight planes, like training ones you can open them.
What are the windows of airplane called?
The correct term for an airplane window is a porthole, the same as for a window on the side of a ship.

What material is used to windows of airplane?
Reinforced glass.
When is it open all windows day?
When all of your windows are open
Why do are airplane windows are smaller than bus windows?
Aircraft windows need to resist severe air pressure changes and pressure differential.
Why have airplanes have two windows?
To keep the temperature inside the airplane nice.
Casement windows do not open?
Actually, Casement windows DO open. Casement windows are really any window that is hinged. Some Casement windows are designed to open to the outside while others are designed to open inwards. Jim
