Air Force One in the United States is a veritable White House in the air, adhering to the principle that "what the president can do on the ground can also be done in the air", also known as the "flying oval office". There is nearly 400 square meters of space on the plane. The president has a "presidential suite" with Simmons bed, leather sofa, high-grade carpet and electric curtains in the living room. There is also a bathroom and a shower in the suite, which the president can enjoy comfortably. Next to the living room is the Oval Office of the President, and there is also a studio equipped with the latest video equipment, projection screens and maps. There are also rooms for the first lady and senior officials on the plane. In the middle of the fuselage is the lounge for presidential aides, journalists and other staff.
Air Force One has 370 cubic meters of internal ground space. Except for all the seat belts, it looks more like a hotel or administrative office than a jet plane. The lowest engine room is usually used as a cargo hold. Most passenger cabins are located in the middle engine room, while the upper engine room is mainly used for loading communication equipment.
The staff gathered in a large conference room twice the size of the presidential dining room. Senior staff have their own office area, and the rest also have their own work and entertainment space. The accompanying reporters have a separate activity area. In addition, there are enough rooms for staff to use. In short, Air Force One can accommodate 70 passengers and 26 crew members.
There is also a large dining room and two "sky kitchens" with modern functions on the lower floor of Air Force One, which can meet the dining needs of more than 100 people at the same time. There is also a medical center with a foldable operating table. All the equipment in the medical center is the most advanced and cutting-edge equipment. In the event of any emergency, it can immediately play the role of first aid, even more modern than the emergency room of general hospitals. Food collection on Air Force One is a random pattern. In order to ensure the president's food safety, it is usually picked up in the ordinary supermarket on the morning of the plane's take-off or the night before, so as not to be deliberately destroyed by terrorists.
"Air Force One" is also the "Pentagon in the Air", serving as the temporary air command center of the three armed forces of the United States. The plane is equipped with a perfect communication system, which can provide the US President and his assistants with the transmission and reception of normal or confidential information from all over the world. The length of all kinds of wires on the plane reaches 3000 kilometers, equipped with 87 telephone lines, 10 advanced computers, 1 large copier, 1 fax machine and 57 antennas. The machine is equipped with multi-pulse frequency radio communication equipment, which has air-to-air and air-to-ground functions. Its main function is to ensure the safety of personnel on board and the smooth operation of communication equipment when Air Force One is affected by nuclear explosion or external radio interference. Military experts believe that US Air Force One is the most sophisticated and destructive aircraft in the world. Its electronic warfare system can interfere with enemy radar, disrupt the aiming system of the missile, and make it impossible to lock the target. According to the British "Jane's Defense Weekly" report, "Air Force One" is also equipped with a directional weapon system, which can determine the orientation of incoming missiles and emit laser or infrared beams to destroy the missile's guidance system. The detection equipment of "Air Force One" is also very complete, which can cooperate with space-based and land-based detection networks to find threatening air targets in time and inform the nearest US or allied fighters to provide air support in time. The pulse frequency radio communication equipment with air-to-air and air-to-ground functions on "Air Force One" can ensure the safety of the crew and the normal operation of the communication equipment when it is affected by nuclear explosion or external radio interference. Without aerial refueling, the range of Air Force One can reach 1 1 4,90 kilometers, and the air stay time is about 12 hours. If you refuel in the air, you can stay in the air for 72 hours, which is enough to send the president of the United States to any place in the world. It is no exaggeration to call "Air Force One" the "White House flying in the air". It is ready to take off 24 hours at any time; 18' s crew and cutting-edge instruments enable it to have the closest contact with the white house anytime and anywhere; It can provide all the services the president needs. It can be said that US Air Force One is the most sophisticated and destructive aircraft in the world. These two Boeing 747-200B "Air Force One" planes were ordered by President Reagan and manufactured by Boeing Company. They are all delivered by 199 1, and the cost is 4 1 ten thousand dollars. This new Boeing 747-200 is for the President's personal use. Since 38+0 on September 54, 2006, this plane has followed the President of the United States for more than170,000 kilometers. The plane is six stories high, can carry 25 assistants, and has spacious space that ordinary passenger planes can accommodate 75 passengers. It can carry about 2000 servings of food at a time. The computer room is about 1000 square meter, with enough space for walking, sleeping, stretching and eating, just like an advanced office space. In the event of a military emergency, this "Air Force One" will be immediately protected by electromagnetic radar equipment, and all cables will be stopped immediately. In addition, a special hard-to-identify metal screen will cover all the windows of the residence, making it difficult for the plane itself to be inspected and tracked. The aircraft also has the ability to refuel in the air and can fly continuously without landing on the ground to refuel. As long as the president gives the order, Air Force One can take him anywhere and give him the best service.
The United States has made too many enemies in the world, so the president of the United States has become the primary target of international terrorism. Therefore, Air Force One can be said to have the most advanced anti-missile system in the world. Air defense personnel can monitor all the space around the special plane by sitting on the workbench equipped with various electronic displays and screens. Once they found the missile attack, they immediately started several sets of electronic jamming systems to induce the missile to change direction, thus ensuring the safety of Air Force One. In addition, when Air Force One landed and taxied on the runway, the president and members of the delegation could observe the scene of welcoming the masses at the airport through satellite TV. After the plane is parked, it can become the communication command center of the president and the delegation.
Usually, before the president boarded the plane, Assad, the security department, always sent a team of staff to check and mark the fuel of the plane to prevent anyone from damaging it. The other team will also check the runway, and if the president is in any danger when boarding or disembarking, these people will shoot at once. In addition, every time Air Force One takes off, another plane will take off first, often carrying the president's luxurious bulletproof car and a large number of light weapons and ammunition. As long as the main engine carrying the president flies, the spare auxiliary engine will follow. If there is a mechanical failure in the main engine, the president can transfer to the standby plane at any time. In addition, at least 1 communication plane of the National Intelligence Agency accompanied the President of the United States when he visited abroad, in order to monitor the possible incoming missile waves. In addition, there are two presidential helicopters, several Hercules military transport planes and 10 bulletproof vehicles.
The thick armor covered on the fuselage of "Air Force One" can resist the shock wave of nuclear bomb explosion; All windows are equipped with bullet-proof glass; There is also an automatic ejection device in the special plane, which can automatically start in case of emergency and bounce the president to a safe place to land.
Air Force One also has the most advanced anti-missile system in the world. The ECM electronic warfare system on the special plane can interfere with the enemy radar, confuse the aiming system of the missile and cannot lock the target. For heat-seeking missiles, "Air Force One" also has its own coup. When this missile strikes, "Air Force One" can launch a large number of flares to trick the heat-seeking missile into tracking bright and hot flares. Therefore, it is also called "the safest plane in the world". The current US President Barack Obama's "Air Force One" is also the fuselage of Boeing 747. It is a Boeing 747-200B, product number VC-25a, speed 10 14 km/h, flying height 10000 m, and endurance 10000km or more. This machine has been put into use since August 1990. Before the two modified Boeing 747 civil aircraft in service at 1990 began to serve, Air Force One was two Boeing 707 aircraft. At the Boeing Museum in Seattle, USA, the original presidential plane "Air Force One" was a Boeing 707 with the tail number of 86970. It is used as the main engine and backup machine respectively with another identical aircraft. These two aircraft began to serve from 1958.
