C-5 Lavatory Replacement Kits
GDS is proud to be part of the solution to keeping the C-5 worldwide deployable.
The C-5 Lavatory Replacement program replaces the 1960s legacy recirculating lavatory with a modern vacuum system. The vacuum system utilizes sustainable commercial components and reduces the corrosion associated with “blue water” lavatory systems.
While the system is currently designed for the C-5M, it is adaptable and can be designed to fit any aircraft configuration.
Each kit includes:
Low Flow Electronic Vacuum toilet based on commercial technology adapted from Airbus A320
Water and Waste Tanks
All tubing
Electronics Control Panels and associated wire harnesses
Composite material walls and Lavatory Shrouds
Build to Print
