What was the airplane toilet do to our waste?

Have you ever poops in an airplane toilets? Or do you ever think what happened to the dirts after that? That is, have we ever thought how the airplane toilets works? Or perhaps we think that there is a hole under the aeroplane so that the poop could go just like that.

Keep in mind, what the airplane toilets do to the poop actually extremely complex. It's all relying on the strong vaccum tools, the valve opens when the chain is pulled. With so all dirts will be sucked. Dirts will then be coated with Teflon to prevent them sticks to the pipe.

Furthermore, the waste will be transferred through the pipes, the same as the toilet system in our homes, but in this case, will be stored in  temporary waste tanks in the fuselage.

When the plane landed, the waste transport vehicle will attach a special vacuum hose to the waste tank in the plane. And when all the waste has been cleaned, so the aircraft can be prepared for the next flight. For more detail let's see the video below;
That's the aircraft toilets system do its work. So do not imagine that our dirt removed immediately when the aircraft is in the air through the hole at the bottom of the plane. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC]

It is manifested by displaying the Zero SR with café racer style named 'Black Stealth' which is the modification result of White Collar Bike, a Bandung-based motorcycle modification workshop.

The original stye of Zero SR motorcycle was street fighter. It suddenly disappeared, when the body is given a 'new dress' made from carbon fiber with the model of a classic racing motorcycle. At rear, its single seater combined with the body made like wasp tails that reflects the café racer style.

Changes made include the body such as the use of color-coated carbon fairing, fuel tank, and single-seater. While the front legs had been using upside-down, and swing arm custom. For the front foot has been presenting a double disc brake. Driving pleasure Zero SR Cafe Racer will be very soft with an electric motor which can spew the power up to 76 hp and 144 Nm of torque.

Well it turns out, the Zero SR Café Racer on display at the biggest automotive exhibition in Indonesia is a prototype. Because the consumers who buy Zero electric motorcycles in IIMS 2016 can be free to modify the bike with such style.

In addition, it is possible that this modified model will be applicable not only in Indonesia. "So if demand a lot, maybe later we will spread to other countries. Because I have investigating in some countries and sent some of our designs with White Collar Bike," said Dhani M Yahya further.

So what price per unit of this bike? The plan, the Zero SR Café Racer will sold at the price of Rp.299 million or approx US $23 thousand (off the road in Indonesia). Those price numbers looks very expensive for a modification motorcycle. However, when viewing the engine installed, maybe you will get rid of that perception.
