Draining apparatus for draining liquids from a vehicle, aircraft having a draining apparatus and method for draining liquids from a vehicle

An aircraft, comprising a fuselage having a skin and at least one apparatus , the apparatus comprising:

• a containment;
• a drain mast having an outlet opening and an inlet;
• and
• an actuator;
• wherein the containment is adapted for being coupled with a structure of the vehicle;
• wherein the actuator is coupled with the drain mast and adapted for moving the drain mast into a retracted position and at least one extracted position relative to the containment;
• wherein the containment is further adapted for accommodating the drain mast in the retracted position at least partially;
• wherein the apparatus is attached to an inner side of the aircraft skin and wherein the containment is positioned above a cut-out of the fuselage skin;
• wherein the drain mast is rotatably supported around a rotational axis, wherein the drain mast extends over a coupling surface facing away from the containment at least in an extended position of the drain mast, and
• wherein the drain mast comprises a longitudinal component having a main extension direction and further having a projected covering surface extending along substantially the whole extension of the longitudinal component for covering a cut-out in the skin of the vehicle in a retracted position of the drain mast.
