Exosonic has unveiled the first images of the supersonic jet that could be used as Air Force One in the next decade.
The plane, which will be able to carry up to 31 passengers at a time, has been designed to transport the US Executive Branch’s distinguished visitors around the world at twice the speed of sound.
The jet, which is expected to be flying by the mid-2030s, is being created by Exosonic after the Californian company was granted a contract by the Presidential and Executive Airlift Directorate last year.
The startup company was handed the contract in September 2020 after impressing the US military with its concept design of a low-boom supersonic Mach 1.8 twinjet, with certification for the aircraft hoped to be acquired by 2029.
