đşđ¸âď¸đď¸ Air Force One Backup: Trump Commissions L3Harris to Retrofit Ex-Qatari 747
đš Summary:
The U.S. has tasked L3Harris Technologies with converting a former Qatari Boeing 747 into an interim Air Force One, aiming to have it ready by fall amid frustrations over Boeingâs delayed flagship project.

⢠Trump seeks an interim solution due to delays, supply chain woes, and soaring costs at Boeing.
⢠Boeingâs Air Force One program has struggled and may not deliver the new planes until 2035.
⢠The interim jet will supplement the current aging Air Force One fleet.
⢠L3Harris is a key contractor for Boeing, focusing on secure communications systems for the Air Force One program.
