How does the jet aircraft of the US President, who flies almost TWO times the speed of sound
It will look like supersonic presidential aircraft that can reach speeds of up to 1380 miles per hour, at speeds almost twice the speed of sound.
New images show the incredible presidential supersonic aircraft developed by Exosonic. In 2020, the Pentagon ordered a new prototype of a jet, which can be a major vehicle of the American Executive. It is so fast that the head of the United States will spend on the road twice in less time
The U.S. air force gave a contract for $ 1 million for 24 months aerospace startup Exosonic, as they presented the concept of the aircraft, which can reach speeds of Mach 1.8. It is twice more, than at the presidential jet Air Force One, which flies at a speed of 600 miles per hour.
It is hoped that the jet will also solve one of the biggest challenges of supersonic flight — noise.
Exosonic boasts of its design it can carry up to 70 passengers can reach a maximum speed of "over land and over the water with a muted sound blow." The presidential version of the aircraft is reduced to 31 seats to make room for rooms for conference calls, office space and sleeping quarters.
Stephanie Cahan, the main interior designer of the aircraft Exosonic, said that the interior of the plane was designed in such a way that could be universal, allowing you to free up space for different employees.
It is assumed that the supersonic jet could become aboard Air Force Two, which usually is the Vice-President.
This may mean that the 49th President of the United States administration will use the first jet engine. The concept jet has two separate suites and a luxurious interior, such as quartz countertops and carpets from wool and silk.
It's a business Suite for three passengers, that can securely hold a video conference during the flight, with plush Seating and a large screen.
Going down the plane, you get a second room for employees and their guests. There are seats with tables facing each other that officials could work together and inclined planes, allowing you to relax in comfort.
Conceptual images show the aircraft in a blue and white color of his elder sister's Air Force One. Engineers hope that the aircraft will have a range of 5,000 nautical miles and is expected to fly to the middle of 2030‑ies.
Moving through the cabin, you get to 20 passengers in the business class, which can accommodate anyone. And in the tail of the plane to make a two galleys and two bathrooms.
Air Force One — is a fully modified aircraft in the Boeing 747–200B described as a three-tiered "flying Oval office", the use of which is reserved for the President of the United States. It can fly at a speed of 600 miles per hour and reach a height of 45 to 100 feet — much higher than commercial Airliners, which usually reach a height of about 30,000 feet.
The aircraft can carry up to 70 passengers and has the living quarters for the President, his senior advisers, officers of the secret service, reporters and guests. Currently in service are two of the aircraft, are equipped with military equipment and defense systems, and they can even remain in the air to survive a nuclear Armageddon.
Barack Obama ordered the construction of a replacement Air Force One during his second term.
Two new aircraft, the Boeing 747-8, built under contract for $ 3.9 billion and is painted in red, white and blue color should be delivered by December 2024. However, any aircraft can be Air Force One — the call is accepted for any aircraft, which is currently the President.
Air Force Two is usually the Boeing C32, a modified 757 which is often used the Vice President.
