Traffic Control Tower.

Among the many airports are there in the entire world, almost no one has the same architectural design. However, there is one building at the airport which has a similar form that can be found almost anywhere in the world, the air traffic control tower or Air Traffic Control (ATC). Everywhere, this tower has always had a slanted window. So what exactly is the purpose of the tower window made ​​crooked?
Many people believe that the window as it was designed to prevent the reflection of sunlight for the pilot in the cockpit. But the explanation, does not have a solid foundation. Because, other buildings at the airport has installed a vertical window as usual. After searching for information by asking directly to the competent authority in the ATC tower, things finally discovered that the benefits of this window is not skewed because the people who came from the tower, but for those who are inside the tower. We used to see (and ignore) the reflection of light on the glass all the time, for instance on a computer monitor or in a car window. But for the air traffic control officers, their views should not be disturbed at all by the light reflection in the window glass. Because, they monitor the flight, where safety is preferred. With beveled glass windows, each light from the tower (such as computer monitors, video screens, lights, etc.) will bounce it into the ceiling. The ceiling in the ATC tower itself will usually painted black to absorb light reflection. That way, there would be no light reflection in the window glass that can impair vision clerk of air traffic.
