I've never understood why the 738 is missing a window in that spot. Is there something critical about the structural integrity of *that spot* that they can't drill a window? Fascinating really.

It's the exact location of the fan blade for the engine. I think there is a window missing in that location of every aircraft with wing mounted engines.

Seatguru said that 13F had a missing window on the 738 I was on 2 weeks ago. However, only 13A had the missing window. I had one in 13F and as far as I know 12F and 14F had windows as well. So IDK, it might just be one side of the plane.

Any further insight into why this is? I don't believe the "fan blade" theory because a hunk of metal rotating thousands of RPMs is going to tear through the airplane fuselage whether it's metal or not. So it really is just 13A? I have heard that on some planes like the 767s with missing windows, it's something about ducting for the ventilation/pressurization system.
