Do Air crafts discharge human wastes (toilet wastes) in the space?

Question

Do Aircrafts discharge human wastes (toilet wastes) in the space while in the Air?

Or is the "septic tank" is being change/replaced during landing?

Just wondering.....

Answer 1

not discahrged in space. these r cleaned after landing. there is a tank which stores till its in air

Answer 2

no,they hold big tanks at the back of the aircraft,which are emptied every day.that big woosh you hear when you press the toilet button,is like a huge strong vacuum cleaner which sucks the waste into the tank

Answer 3

Thanks I was wondering what that was that landed on my head the other day.

Answer 4

Yes, they do, it actually freezes & crystallizes in space.

Answer 5

yep drops out all over us

Answer 6

I think they do when flying over seas.

Answer 7

On occasion yes, it is called "blue ice".

But they arent supposed to.  They have what is referred to as honey buckets.   Lavatory waist tanks where they contain human waste.  

Some aircraft have the flushing method and some have a vacuum waste system.

In the airline business if you ever get doused with degerm (the blue liquid used in the toilets) you will forever be known as a smurf.

Answer 8

no. they actually have tanks in the air craft..which holds all the waste that we do. When they land, they have truck with tanks also on them, with a huge pump. So it sucks the tanks in the air craft, into the tanks in the truck.

Then they dispose of it properly. Which makes it harmless for us and the enviroment

Answer 9

I remember hearing one time, that airplanes that are on long flights, do drop from the holding tank over huge open area's of oceans!

And Nasa space craft have holding tank systems, but totally different then airplane holding tanks! The astronauts  have pouch systems built into there spacesuits  and the pouches are removeable and put into a holding tank system and new pouches put back into the spacesuits! Because up in space it would be impossible to use a toilet system because the discharges of body fluids etc. wouldn't go into a toilet because of no gravity!

They wear a diaper like system! For the trip up, and the trip back down!
