Airplane toilets are designed to be compact and efficient due to limited space. They use a blue disinfectant liquid in the bowl to control odors and maintain hygiene. The vacuum system not only aids in waste removal but also reduces the amount of water needed compared to traditional flush toilets.
After landing, ground crew members connect a hose to the exterior of the aircraft, and the waste is pumped out of the storage tank for proper disposal or treatment. This system helps airlines manage waste effectively during flights.
