ALL THESE ELECTRONIC GADGETS AND SECRECY DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT AIRFORCE ONE CANT CRASH. ANY MAN-MADE OBJECT CAN MALFUNCTION AT ANYTIME WITHOUT WARNING. |

interesting and informative topic. We expect more of these kind of posts. I'm tired of the several gormless post I see on Nairaland. Why would somebody post a topic like 'Emeka Ike and Obasanjo, who wore it better'? Isnt it stupid? And how nonsensical topics make it to the front page still remains a mystery to me. Seems some of the Mods here are given to prattles. 1 Like |

But its by far not the grandiest big daddy of them all. Airforce One is built on a 747-200 chasis which is over 35 years old. I learnt one of those Arabian Sheikhs, Emirs or Sultaan (forgotten who precisely) has ordered a customised Airbus A380 complete with gold plated lavs, a swimming pool, limousine garage and a personal elevator. The only problem the folks at Airbus have is the weight of the tiles in the Turkish bath as his Highness insists on the real thing, no make-belief substitutes, making meeting the maximum take-off weight limits a real tall order. The price ??. Perhaps a couple of oil wells pumping for six months. |

Most security features of ''Air force One'' are highly classified. The plane is periodically updated with the latest security feature. |

I am sure The Russian presidential jet maybe stronger than the main US Air Force One, but you know, my dear Americans are good in hyping themselves The Russian presidential aircraft is the official aircraft of the President of Russia, when he flies aboard. All aircraft in the Russian presidential fleet are operated by GTK Rossiya. The main presidential aircraft is the four-engined, long-range, widebody Ilyushin Il-96-300PU, a highly-modified Il-96, with the two last letters standing for "Command Point" in Russian. Four modified Il-96s have been used as presidential aircraft, the first one was used by the first President of Russia, Boris Yeltsin. In 2005, the second aircraft was used by President Vladimir Putin. In 2010, the third president, Dmitry Medvedev announced that he wanted to expand the presidential fleet with two more aircraft, manufactured by the Voronezh Aircraft Plant. Previously the president had used Ilyushin Il-62, Tupolev Tu-154, and Yakovlev Yak-40 aircraft. The aircraft are a highly-customized version of the standard Il-96, with extensive modifications for luxury and safety. Although technical information about the aircraft has been kept secret, it is known that the aircraft's security apparatus includes advanced communications systems and some type of escape capsule. The capsule does not require passengers to use parachutes, although its exact design is a state secret. Below is a picture of former Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev using a MacBook on his presidential aircraft.

The italicized part of your post is arrant nonsense! The Airbus A380 being sold to the Royals is a 571t Max Ramp Weight (MRW), 569t MTOW which is well below the upscaled MRW of the A380. What most people may not know is A380 there is an extended variant of the A380 which was ment to be the freighter version with MTOW of 600t but was 'canned' The Qataris A340 customization is far modern than the Air Force One! |

nifemi01: Who doesn't know AAFB is a military base? Apparently, I wasn't clear enough. I'm talking about holding traffic at commercial airports within proximity. Dulles and Reagan are the two closest airports to AAFB, and thus Air force one flies the same airspace as commercial airlines do. |

lanreni: it also has voice/cruise control options.it can also fuction like a satellite in space and it is built to keep the president safe at all times,even against satellite tracking. it isn't for sale,custom-made for usa.there's a great danger in using a hi-tech gizmo you can't build,maintain,control or service locally.security can be compromised and assasination bcomes very easy. i though it is also always being escorted by four fighter jets where ever it goes. i saw fighter jets escorting it when clinton came visiting to nigeria |

Omo_Tier1: Air force One isn't about the what equipment is used, after all it's a 747-200, one of the earlier models of Boeing, so we know it's not a modern plane one. If you wanna compare the A380, you have to look at the 800 variants. That compare in size and weight to the 380. What makes the Air force One capable than all this aircraft is the military capabilities and customization, 80% of which highly classified. |

manny4life:Seriously have you actually being on the A380? Comapring it to that cargo -800 of a boeing 747 is a joke! Boeing 747-8I is a doomed aircraft. As for Airforce One, I see no military capabilities it got that is a WoW factor. |

4.Air Force One has unlimited range and can carry the President wherever he needs to travel. The onboard electronics are hardened to protect against an electromagnetic pulse, and Air Force One is equipped with advanced secure communications equipment, allowing the aircraft to function as a mobile command center in the event of an attack on the United States. The media refer to it as “The flying Oval Office” or the “ The flying White House”. On September 11th, 2001, the president's plane showed that it was much more than an executive jet -- it became a mobile bunker when all ground positions seemed vulnerable to attack The part in bold is absolute trash! Unlimited range my foot. Even with refueling capability, the typical range of the Aircraft is still limited. |

Omo_Tier1: You were comparing size and technical characteristics and I told you the -800 variant is closer to what you're asking. How's the Intercontinental a doomed aircraft? Is it because it has a higher capability than the 380 family? It's not for you to see the wow factor, simply take all the capabilities of what the White House can do + Pentagon + Defense, add them altogether and you have a flying equipment. That is why it's dubbed the flying White House. So if you believe that none of these are wow factor, well it will wow the day it's attacked? |

manny4life:747-8I has high technical capability than A380 FYI, -8I is doomed because ASM is poorer than even B777-3ER, orders well below development cost. What is so spectacular about computers accessing servers based on ground using satellite technology That is exactly what the Airforce One does. If it has military capabilities, then it wouldn't need 4 F-16E escorting her during flight. |
