We had a guest on our boat last week who was one of the developers of the VacuFlush marine head. The original plan was to market it to Boeing for the 747 but it turned out that Boeing already had their, uhhh, waste removal removal design pretty much set in concrete, and not about to change. Failing to interest Boeing in this modern marvel, they turned to the marine market on the assumption that a system which used less H2O per flush would also be slower to fill holding tanks. Yes, I was on the design team for Boeing as the Lead Systems Engineer. I tried to get our head design to take off in the boating market, but never succeded. |
