Advanced Communication Suite
Serving as a president is undoubtedly an all-encompassing role. While most individuals can enjoy a respite from constant instant messages by switching their phones to flight mode during flights, presidents do not share this luxury. Air Force One aircraft have a dedicated communication center, allowing the president to engage in conferences even when soaring at 40,000 feet (12,100 meters). Throughout President Trump’s term, substantial enhancements were introduced to the communication suite, including integrating two prominent satellite communications (SATCOM) systems. These enhancements are visibly marked by the distinctive “humps” on the aircraft’s fuselage, pinpointing the exact locations of these vital satellites. This advanced technology ensures the president can communicate during global travels, including emergencies.
