It’s essential to track the whereabouts of any aircraft that
takes to the sky. However, when one of the passengers on board is a high-profile government figure such as the President of the United States, the safety and security of the aircraft is taken much more seriously. Equipped with nuclear bombresistant materials and technology that can make it invisible to enemies, the president’s aircraft is designed to be one of the safest aeroplanes on Earth. This plane is referred to as Air Force One.
