A fluid ejector for discharging gases and fluids from an aircraft. The fluid ejector is fastened to an exterior surface of the aircraft and includes an air tube which is spaced apart from the exterior surface of the aircraft by a mast. Unwanted fluids and gases are evacuated from the aircraft through a conduit located inside the drain mast and are expelled from an outlet located in the side of the air tube. In this manner, the liquid or gases present at the outlet are discharged in a rearward direction away from the downstream portion of the aircraft by the airstream through the tube.

In an aircraft having a component which leaks liquid, apparatus for ejecting the liquid from the aircraft, the apparatus comprising: a. a drain line having a first end for receiving the liquid from the component and a second end; b. a tube for receiving air therethrough caused by forward movement of the aircraft such that the air enters an inlet end of the tube and exits a discharge end of the tube; and c. a mast having an inner end which is fastened to the aircraft and an outer end which supports the tube, the mast also including a conduit having an inner end for receiving the liquid from the aircraft and an outer end for discharging the liquid through an opening in a side of the tube such that the air entering the tube causes the liquid to be discharged out the discharge end of the tube, the mast supporting the tube in a manner that the distance between the tube and the aircraft surface increases when proceeding from the inlet end to the discharge end of the tube so that the liquid discharged from the tube is directed away from a downstream portion of the aircraft.
