Next door to the living room is the president's office, which consists of a log table and a leather chair. The blue quartz clock is hung on the wall, including the continental United States, Washington, D.C. and the time of arrival. In addition, there is a very modern medical center. In the room, there are three first-class seats, two sleeping berths, a washstand, a refrigerator for cold storage of blood and medicine, and a cupboard full of medical equipment; There is also a foldable operating table with highly sensitive lighting.

There is also a studio, which includes the latest video recording equipment, projection screen, map hanging, and any necessary facilities of other conference rooms. On the gorgeous dining table, there is a thick wooden board embedded on the desktop, and some wires, recording equipment and systems that can be blocked at any time are hidden under it to ensure the safety of communication and clear telephone conversation. The special plane includes two places with kitchen functions, both of which have microwave ovens and ovens. Of course, for the safety of the plane, these equipment are specially designed and will not cause danger. The plane is fully equipped, and everything the White House aides do on the ground can be done in the air. The most interesting thing is that the TV screen in the plane can receive programs from all over the world. Moreover, there is such a TV in every compartment. If you want to watch any program video, just pick up the phone next to the seat and inform the relevant personnel, and you can receive the program.
The interior of this presidential landline includes 87 telephones, 1 computers, a photocopier large enough to supply a law firm, a fax machine and 57 antennas. There are two telephones in several seats. The white telephone is generally used, while the beige telephone is a sound communication system that filters noise, and the telephone sound is extremely clear. In the engine room of the upper house, there is a special person responsible for these external communication operations. A wall of electronic equipment controls the complex communication network of the whole plane. As long as you pick up the phone next to your seat, the operator will answer immediately. These telecommunications equipment can be quickly spread to all parts of the world, and anyone you want to talk to, including even if you don't have the other party's phone number at hand, the operator will try his best to help you check and get through.
Performance of Air Force One
It is no exaggeration to call Air Force One "the White House flying in the air". It is ready to take off 24 hours a day; The 18 crew members and the most sophisticated instruments enable it to have the closest contact with the White House at any time and anywhere; It can provide all the services that the president needs. It can be said that US Air Force One is the most sophisticated and destructive aircraft in the world. The two Boeing 747－2B "Air Force One" planes currently in use were ordered by President Reagan and manufactured by Boeing Company. They were delivered in 1991 and cost 41 million US dollars. This new Boeing 747-2 is for the personal use of the President. Since September 21 alone, this plane has flown more than 17, kilometers with the President of the United States. The plane is six stories high, can carry 25 aides, and has the spacious space of an ordinary passenger plane that can accommodate 75 passengers. It can carry about 2, meals at one take-off. The engine room is about more than 1 square meters, with enough space to walk around, sleep, stretch and have meals, just like a senior office space. In case of 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 and difficult-to-identify metal screen will cover all the windows of the residence, so that the plane itself is not easy to be tracked by inspection. The plane also has the ability to refuel in the air and can fly continuously without landing on the ground to add fuel. As long as the president gives the order, Air Force One can take him anywhere and give him the best service.
the current us president George W. bush's "air force one" is a Boeing 747-2B, with a special plane number of VC-25a, with a speed of 9 km/h, a flying altitude of 1, meters and a cruising range of more than 1, km. This machine was officially put into use in August 199. Previously, American presidents were flying in Boeing 77, which was much smaller than Boeing 747.
Protection of Air Force One
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 at 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 special plane is parked, it can become the communication command center of the president and the delegation.
usually, before the president boards the plane, the security department always sends a team of staff to check and mark the aircraft fuel to prevent anyone from damaging it. The other team will also check the runway, and if there is any danger when the president is boarding or disembarking, these people will shoot at once. In addition, every time "Air Force One" takes off, another plane takes off first, often carrying the president's luxury bullet-proof car and a lot of light weapons and ammunition. Of course, every time the president goes out, an officer will always help him carry the famous "suitcase". Through the button device in the suitcase, the president can order the launch of a nuclear bomb to fight back when the United States is suddenly attacked.
Air Force One is actually two mandarin ducks. For example, the flight code "Angel" is numbered 26, and 27,. 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. When the president of the United States visits abroad, he is accompanied by at least one communication plane of the National Intelligence Agency, in order to monitor the possible incoming missile waves. In addition, there are two presidential helicopters, several Hercules military transport planes and 1 bulletproof cars. Lincoln advanced bullet-proof cars cost more than $5, each.
