💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump is eager to use a luxurious jet donated by Qatar as the new Air Force One, but ensuring its security and functionality may require compromising on safety features. The Qatari plane, if upgraded, would need several modifications, including advanced communications and protection systems, which could cost around $1 billion and take years. The Air Force Secretary suggested lower costs, disputing the estimate provided by the Congressional members.
