Aircraft manufacturer Boeing (http://mashable.com/category/boeing/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) has developed tech**logy for a self-cleaning bathroom.
The lavatory would use ultraviolet (UV) light to clean all the surfaces — ** hand sanitizer or travel wipes required.
The system still needs further testing before airlines can place orders for the tech**logy on new aircraft, Boeing says. But the future is looking touchless.
