The New Air Force One

The U.S. Air Force has reached a deal with Boeing to build the next generation Air Force One aircraft. The current Boeing 747-200 aircraft that fly the president will be replaced with the newer, more advanced Boeing 747-800. This comes with numerous upgrades, such as:
  • ~1000nm more range (now 7,730nm)
  • A faster cruising speed of 0.855 mach, making it the fastest commercial jet in the world
  • An increased maximum takeoff weight of 987,000 pounds (a 154,000 pound increase)
  • 16 tons less CO2 emissions per trip

The contract will cost $3.9 billion for the two aircraft, and work on the aircraft is expected to be completed by December 2024. President Trump has also discussed changing the livery of the plane to a red, white, and blue theme.
