erm no, gorilla glass is not the principle strength component to the windshields of cars/trains/helicopters, it might be used as part of the glass substrate for it's exceptional thermal properties but never on it's own, the strength and durability is usually derived from the laminate procedure where the glass substrate is paired with one or more epoxy and thermoplastic, which allows the glass to deflect and absorb more force then would normally allow the glass alone
