Dumbest feature on an aircraft ever?
This is a demo video of the new Daher one touch lav deployment on the TBM 950. Awkward. (www.youtube.com) Daha Fazlası...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Someone please summon Mr. Hartmann as an aircraft toilet is where most of his crap belongs.
Hey now. The phrase "don't fee the trolls" comes to mind. As much as I agree with your statement, I'd rather let sleeping dogs lie.
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.
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!!!
Too light for hydraulics.. It will all be electric driven servos.. but it is going to be a nightmare when it brakes and very expensive.
Where would one put this in an Avenger, anyway?
