The American news network today (Saturday) unveiled the new presidential plane planned by the American company Exosonic in cooperation with the American Air Force and the White House, a plane designed to serve the President of the United States as "Air Force 1" and fly at a speed 1.8 times faster than sound speed.
In a series of simulations, the network revealed the details of the aircraft, a special model of the supersonic executive aircraft designed by the company and designed to carry up to 70 passengers.
The presidential model is designed for 31 passengers with luxury furniture made of oak, fine leather and quartz.

On board the plane will be installed several suites designed for rest for the president and his deputy as well as a meeting room where it will also be possible to hold cabinet meetings, as well as work stations for staff members.
Due to the limited carrying capacity of the high-speed aircraft, the White House is considering assigning it to the Vice President, and using it for the President only on urgent visits that require a particularly fast flight.
"In the concept of the presidential plane, we intend to incorporate technologies that are not commercially available today and those that have not yet been seen by the media," Stephanie Kahn, the chief interior designer of Exosonic aircraft, told the news network.
The interior design of the aircraft is extremely flexible and the workstations for the crew members fold into the interior panels and buds set out dining tables or display screens to divert the aircraft space from work, meal or seating.
"That's how we made sure that even if we were flying the president, vice president, first lady or first husband, there is a lot of flexibility," Kahn says.
