1. A method for producing a window assembly, the method comprising:

producing a structural panel comprising:

depositing one or more structural reinforcement layers, wherein each of the one or more structural reinforcement layers comprises a plurality of nanolaminated layers, and wherein the nanolaminated layers comprise Al₂O₃, SiO₂, graphene, or a combination thereof; and

depositing a structural transparent polymer layer on the one or more structural reinforcement layers, wherein the structural transparent polymer layer comprises a transparent thermoplastic material,

wherein an edge of the structural panel mounts the window assembly directly to a vehicle to provide load bearing capability without a window frame.
