President of the United States Joe Bidenchose a design for the next Air Force One presidential jet that resembles the current one, thus abandoning the proposal of its predecessor, Donald Trumppicked up this Saturday by the local media.
When the now former Republican president ran the White House, he ordered that a new aircraft model was painted red, white and blue American flag.
However, Biden opted for a design similar to the current Air Force One, which comes in white and two shades of blue.
Boeing is adapting two 747-8s to replace the current two aircraft that make up the presidential fleet. commonly known as Air Force One.
The first will be handed over to the US government in 2027, the second in 2028.
On Friday evening, the US Air Force said in a statement that Air Force One is being upgraded to adapt to the 21st centurybut its design is “very similar to the current one”.

Among the minor changes, the light blue color of the aircraft fuselage will become more intense and saturated. engines will be painted in dark blue interior color.
The Air Force concluded that Trump’s proposal would increase the cost of the aircraft and lengthen delivery times, as new colors will increase the heat absorbed by the aircraft.
The new fleet, called the VC-25B, will include new communication, power and self-defense systems and will replace the current fleet of VC-25A, which has “old parts” and high maintenance costs.
The current Air Force One has been used by every US president since George W. Bush (1989-1993). (EFE)
