Excerpted, emphasis added:

Fans of the lavish lavatories found in Japan will soon be able to benefit from the state-of-the-art facilities even while in the air.

All Nippon Airways (ANA), the nation's second largest carrier, has decided to fit its new Boeing 787 Dreamliners with toilets that project jets of warm water, allowing users to clean themselves, the Nikkei newspaper said last week.

When the new planes take off in 2008, the report said, they will be the first passenger jets equipped with the sanitary devices.

ANA has ordered 50 of the aircraft, the Nikkei said.

The airline expects the additional costs of the toilets to be offset by the fuel efficiency of the new jets, the newspaper reported.

Let's just hope these squirting commodes also have an automatic air turbulence cut-off system.
