Wipers are typically only used during takeoff / landing and taxying for large jets. IIRC, on the early 737s, the wipers don't have the 'guts' to counteract the airflow over a certain speed. Most light-aircraft are not fitted with wipers and instead rely on direct airflow from the prop (SEP) or often on multi-engine they have a ducted air-blower but this is mainly for keeping the screen clear of ice regardless of the aircrafts known-icing clearance.
