Dumbest feature on an aircraft ever?

Here's a link with a better video of the lav

Id rather carry that weight in fuel or luggage. Or just not carry it at all.

and what does this solve that couldn't be accomplished with a heavy curtain?

LOL! What the hell was the marketing department thinking? Pore women, that's not awkward at all.(sarcasm) Tread carefully Daher...

It really puts the BM in the TBM...

LOL. What's with the porn music? That is so stupid.

No auto bidet, too?

Rube Goldberg!

That is going to be a Maintenance Nightmare... I hope the airlines don't pick it up... I do not want to work with maintaining it...

Yet another example of the maxim: Just because you can do something does not not make it a good idea.

Gee, there's nothing that could go wrong with that!

I see a promotion to a vice president of something for whoever came up with this.

And the plane costs just under $ 8 million. Hell. Fly commercial and going to the toilet is not going to be an anguish filled experience.

Lol that's funny

Well I'll swim against the tide. It looks like a clever solution for "a rare moment" bathroom for TBM/light jet class of aircraft. I'd like to know price and weight. In general, A/C are purchased by guys, married guys and getting the women to go along with the purchase is part of the picture. This lav will appeal to women versus many other options in this class of aircraft, including NO LAV - which is a deal killer.

Seems to me that a much simpler solution (to save fuel and space) would have simply been a curtain rod and a curtain!! Again, this is a "rare moment" lav as kcurran put it.

Where would one put this in an Avenger, anyway?

I can only imagine that there would be hydraulics used on this!!! It said that it was powered by 2 motors For all the folding and expanding done it would have to be hydraulics!!! If it was my plane and I had the money to put it in there I would buy it!!!

This is for the TBM 900 and 930. There is no 950. It's a six place aircraft, not an airliner, not a 737. Costs around $4 million not 8. The lavatory weighs 90 pounds and replaces the two rear seats. A quick, 30 minute configuration change. The plane can stay in the air for 7 plus hours at long range cruise so having a lav while flying 4 people is pretty convenient actually.

Available online and the Made for TV section of your local Walmart. $19.95 and if you purchase it today we will include our brand new battery powered "Camper Crapper" it fits easily in the backseat of your Toyota Prius.

Someone please summon Mr. Hartmann as an aircraft toilet is where most of his crap belongs.

what

I agree. Added cost and weight for this contraption is unexplainable.

What are the memory items for biffy privacy deployment failure? Leave it to the French.
