The innovative concept provides significant weight reduction, better space utilisation and less system complexity by using the on-board vacuum toilet system or waste water system as pressure source for a compaction mechanism. Today’s trash compactor technologies are based on electromechanical compactors which are heavy (80 kg –… (www.airbus.com) Altro...
