Showers have been available on business jets for a long time now using a system that recycles the water through very fine filters such that supposedly no bacteria can be transmitted. This keeps the weight of water down but it will be interesting to see if the general public will accept the concept of showering with recycled water.

Wasn't Richard Branson the consumate exploiter of a commercial opportunity at the A380 unveiling in that he was spruiking about how the Virgin Atlantic configuration will offer more than any of its competitors - not a single word mentioned by our enlightened reporters that VA has delayed delivery of its A380's.
