No one curious that you are, you surely ask a lot of questions about the fate of your personal property when you are in the toilet of a plane. Once you pulled the water, what happens? Is everything in the air? Explanations
Technology for Hygiene
We're not gonna make the suspense last any longer. Since 1975 and a patent filed by James Kemper, the toilets operate with a suction system. When Shoot the hunt in a plane , it is certainly very noisy but very effective to rid everything. We use a little liquid as well as an anti-adhesive coating.
Then all this is stored in a container on board the plane. The content is then emptied during the aircraft’s landing by airport personnel via pipes. The same staff will then unload all this in special trash bins around. The next time you take the plane, you can wreck (and instruct) your friends by telling the operation of the toilet system.

What happened when we pulled the hunt before this patent appeared?
Since 1982 and the installation of the toilet with the Kemper patent by Boeing, the system has not evolved. Before, it was Anotec who exercised a reign without sharing. This little blue liquid that came to absorb your excrements as by magic. Each aircraft was to carry the Anotec. An additional load that affected fuel consumption and aircraft capacity.
Unfortunately for the Notec, some leaks could appear at the container level that contained the waste. These high-altitude leaks later created small frost balls that fell into the void. Of course, these balls had to fall to a place. So we witnessed testimony from people receiving balls on their cars. No, it was not aliens, but simply human excrements.
When there was no toilet
When we go back to history, we see that the pilots of the Second World War made their needs in bottles before throwing them overboard. Original projectiles. A hygienic problem that could not have with longer flights and especially with many passengers.
Imagine the space for a moment that each passenger carries his small bottle and throws through the porthole the result of a 15-hour flight without stops. We can therefore be grateful to technology. When modernity flies to the rescue of the toilets on board, we can only salute her.
