Inside the ins and Air Force OneThe U.S. government began to think a presidential plane when the time of President Theodore Roosevelt in the decade of the 1910s. At that time, the duties of the President of the United States is increasingly complex and dibutukan a special aircraft to support its performance.
Now, aboard Air Force One there are two pieces, all made by Boeing. The type is 740-200 jumbo jet engined with the serial number VC-25A. Two planes are nearly identical, both color and shape. The difference lies in the number on the tail, namely 28 000 and 29 000.
Each plane has four engines CF6-80C2B1 electric jet. Speed limit is between 630 and 700 miles per hour with a maximum flying height is 45,100 feet. Air Force One carrying 53,611 gallons of fuel and capable of around half the world without refueling in one flight.
If the President at the White House working in the Oval Office, then in the Air Force One, the presidential compound named Presidential Suite located on the front of the plane. In the area of 'property' available at this president's bedroom, bathroom and lounge. Just like an office, the president's senior staff were also given their own space keja. Also available with conference room is also large enough to discuss important issues.
In flight procedures they also have a strict standard. Before Air Force One fly, thorough preparation done on this plane. All the aircraft are checked, even said to the crew that was already selected, will be lodged for days at Andrew Air Force Base prior to the day of departure.
A few days before Air Force One landed at a destination, the U.S. Air Force first sent a C141 Starlifter cargo aircraft. This aircraft loading, van for the guards, presidential cars, weapons and equipment. While in the air too, Air Force One will be escorted by at least two fighter planes.
To maintain security, ahead of the landing of Air Force One, the whole flight in the landing site will be clean. Nothing else should a plane landed before Air Force One landed smoothly. Sometimes the flight line clearance takes at least half an hour or more. Since the troublesome procedures of Air Force One flight, no wonder this rare plane landed at a commercial airport but at the air base.
Inside the plane, the President and his staff are in the room 4000 square foot room that consists of three floors, including room suite for the President of a large office, bath, and meeting rooms. Air Force One has a medical room suite that can function as an operating room, and doctors permanently. The aircraft is also capable of preparing food for 100 people at once
Besides the presidential plane, Air Force One could also function as a bunker fly. Until now nobody U.S. officials know the exact details of the parts inside. The aircraft is able to withstand the brunt of an attack missile and nuclear electromagnetic pulse.
Thus, Air Force One is no longer just a presidential executive jet. This aircraft has increased the status of a bunker move who always suspect that any place that will stop off at a place that was safe and highly vulnerable to attack.
For that reason do not be surprised if the convoy planes, helicopters, and vehicles transporting the U.S. President has also been arranged in such a way that each potential murderer - including the reporters who chase fooled. Air Force One, for example, not allowed to visit a country alone. He is always accompanied by a longer plane that has a similar shape.
Had President in Attack?
Well it's suppose just what if an attack occurs against him as well? For the worst case scenario, the SS would direct the President and his wife evacuated by helicopter to a nearby air base moves of the U.S.
