A system is described for the treatment of aircraft toilet waste water to permit discharge of the treated water to the atmosphere during flight, utilizing the pressure differential that is created between the aircraft's cabin pressure and the external atmosphere. The system includes a filter to remove suspended solids and other contaminants from the waste water, and may also include means to purify the water to potable water standards and means to recirculate the treated water for reuse on the aircraft.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A treatment system for aircraft toilet waste water comprising a drain mast open to the atmosphere for discharging water from the aircraft, and a filter operatively connected to and disposed upstream of the drain mast to filter contaminants from the waste water to permit discharge of the filtered water from the aircraft through the drain mast during flight, wherein the waste water is passed through the filter and out the drain mast using a pressure differential between the aircraft cabin and the drain mast when the aircraft is in flight.
