New renderings show the cabin interior of the supersonic presidential jet designed by Exosonic that could fly at nearly twice the speed of sound and cut travel time in half.

Last year, it was revealed that the Pentagon had commissioned a prototype of a jet that could carry a variety of senior members of the executive branch - from cabinet officials to the First Lady.

The Air Force awarded a 24-month, $1million contract to Exosonic after it was impressed by the start-up aerospace company's concept for a jet that could fly at Mach 1.8 speeds 'supersonically overland and overwater with a muted sonic boom,' according to the firm's website.

The presidential plane is a 31-passenger version of the company's concept for a 70-passenger commercial jet and could theoretically reach speeds of 1,380mph.

Stephanie Chahan, Exosonic's principal aircraft interior designer, said one of its key interior design strengths is its cabin flexibility to host a variety of different passengers - unlike Air Force One, the president's plane.

'It needs to be flexible enough to fit a number of different missions, if it was ever in service,' Chahan told DailyMail.com.

'So it has to be modular enough for the Secretary of Defense, fit the requirements of the First Lady - whatever their requirements may be - and those requirements can vary significantly.'

CNN Travel noted that the plane might primarily be used as Air Force Two - which carries the vice president.

The jet boasts two private suites and luxurious furnishings and materials including quartz counters, and flooring near its exits, as well as a wool-silk blend carpet - materials that 'are often not seen in business jets,' Chahan said.

The custom carpets come from American manufacturer Scott Group Studio based out of Michigan, which has previously manufactured rugs in the White House Oval Office for President Joe Biden as well as former Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama.

The first of the business suites fits three passengers and includes the ability to video teleconference securely in-flight.

A second suite for senior staffers and guests fits eight passengers who can work collaboratively and rest. It has seats that lie flat to allow passengers to sleep on board.

The plane also has 20 business class passenger seats, with two galleys and two bathrooms.

'With this concept we are planning to implement new technologies that are not available today or that you don't (yet) see on commercial or business aircraft,' Chahan told CNN Travel.

It was not immediately clear what those new technologies may include.

Chahan told DailyMail.com that the cabin design and its blue-and-white coloring was inspired by the executive branch and the Peregrine Falcon - a bird renowned for its speed - making the cabin 'neutral and calming.'

The plane, which has a 5,000-nautical-mile range, is expected to fly by the mid-2030s.

Air Force One, the highly customized Boeing 747-200B series aircraft described as a three-level 'flying Oval Office,' is currently one of the fastest planes in the world. It can travel at a top speed of 600mph, which is almost the speed of sound.

During flight, Air Force One is capable of reaching a maximum altitude of 45,100 ft.

By comparison, a commercial airliner usually reaches about 30,000ft.

It is built to support the weight of up to 70 passengers as well as living quarters for the president, his senior advisers, Secret Service officers, reporters, and guests.

The current version of the plane also holds 4,000sq ft of space which includes a conference room, offices, and top-of-the-line electronics that enables the president to work in-flight.

Air Force One also holds two galleys for food preparation, a doctor on board every flight, and a medical operating room.

There are currently two Air Force One planes in service today. The aircraft carries the tail codes 28000 and 29000.

The current planes were purchased when Ronald Reagan was president. They were first introduced into service during the administration of Reagan's successor, George H.W. Bush.

Several years ago, Boeing decided to shut down production of the 747-200 series. Thus it became difficult to replace the aircraft's parts.

During Barack Obama's second term in office, he ordered a replacement fleet be built that would be modeled on the new 747-8 series.

In July 2018, Boeing received a $3.9billion contract to build two 747-8 aircraft for use as Air Force One by the president, due to be delivered by December 2024 and painted red, white and blue.

The Boeing 747-8s are designed to be an airborne White House able to fly in worst-case security scenarios, such as nuclear war, and are modified with military avionics, advanced communications and a self-defense system.

Ok

Twice speed of sound? hmmm and nigeria is still talking about grazing and almajiri....chaii lugard

One nigeria is a big scam

And Nigeria is still discussing how to build second niger bridge + refinery. " .
. it is well. .

heard fuel is now 300 naira is it true

Probably black market.

Nigeria is mad

See technology

He go hard to actualize cos planes flying above the speed of light usually experience sonic boom and its very loud that's 1 of the set back on supersonic aircraft


Modified:I've seen my mistake y'all can stop mentioning me now speed of sound it is but sonic boom is still a problem what YouTube videos

I also thought it is the Speed of light .
Speed of sound is manageable.
Ever watch those cartoon character speeding off with their legs while their body is left behind?! That's literally what will happen if men try traveling with the speed of light!

Talk about Tom and Jerry lol

Even with speed of sound it's still hard but if its possible the jet lag nor go be here cos your soul go still dey catch up imagine traveling across the globe with that speed ��

Men did this..

Go on YouTube and see videos on it, it's not going to so noisy like the Concord plane, different technological tests are still been carried out for the best result, and few other countries are also working on their own brand.

Supersonic aircraft's can be dangerous. Concorde was grounded globally because of its risky hyper-fired engines.

I'm stunned

Please wait let's get our NIN card first

Not speed of light bro. but speed of sound.

Speed of light is faster that speed of sound. A plane can't travel the speed of light.

Hope it's also very safe.
Reminds me of the concorde planes.The crash no be here.

Na where una d see brain take do things oh

That's why the USA is called world leader. China and Russia can only manufacture viruses and nuks.

Interesting piece.

My question is,
Those who wear glasses all through and remove it during sex,was their eyes originally made to see naked things?

America too dey over hype
