Luxury Boeing 747, which once owned the government of Qatar-with gold walls, plush carpets, leather couches and decorated accessories-it is ready to serve as a temporary air force for US President Donald Trump. The opulent interiors of the aircraft were created by the famous French design house Alberto Pinto Cabinet and the echo of the aesthetics of Trump Tower.
Trump orders to go as Boeing’s lagging to upgrade $ 3.9 billion
Trump’s decision to get a nozzle comes in the middle of a growing frustration with Boeing, which significantly lagged in the project of $ 3.9 billion to replace the existing presidential aircraft. Former Chief Commander turned to Florida’s defense supplier L3Harris Technologies to retrofit the private Boeing 747 with communication and security systems needed for presidential use.
According to The Wall Street Journal, it is expected that the aircraft – which once carried a price mark of $ 400 million – will be in possession of Trump by early autumn.
“I’m not happy with the boeing”
Trump’s pivot on the plane owned by Kataria followed the February nozzle tour at West Palm Beach. Then he reportedly told the Aiters, “I’m not happy with the boeing.” Sources told the magazine that Trump “checks” with L3Harris regularly to update the process of additional equipment.
The Boeing project is facing years of delay
The Boeing Treaty originally granted Trump during its first term in 2017 to replace two aging VC-25A aircraft, known as Air Force One when the president is on board. These aircraft, for the first time introduced during the Bush administration George HW, required increasingly maintenance.
Although the project was originally scheduled for completion in 2024, Boeing now estimates that delivery will not occur until at least 2035. The company reportedly met more suppliers, engineering and production failure and pushed the project over a billion budget.
Elon Musk urged more transparency
The delay was so serious that Trump’s administration once considered the cancellation of the contract completely. The Wall Street Journal states that Elon Musk urged the lead of the boeing to prepare more about the challenges – a step that allegedly left some “unpleasant” officials.
