The interiors were done by Exosonic’s in-house team. “The cabin design was inspired by the US Executive Branch and its mission and values, as well as the Peregrine falcon,” a rep from Exosonic toldThe layout includes two private suites with VIP seats, and one of the suites will be capable of video teleconferencing for secure communications in flight. The second eight-passenger suite, with lay-flat seats, will be for senior staffers and guests.
The video suite allows for secure communications in the air, while the supersonic speed means officials can arrive to time-sensitive meetings in half the time. The interior also includes 20 business-class passenger seats as well as two galleys and two lavatories, with good storage space. Interior components will be sourced from US manufacturers, including a wool-and-silk blend custom carpet from Scott Group Studio. The Michigan firm recently made rugs for the Oval Office for President Joe Biden, as it had for both the Trump and Obama administrations. Tapis Corp. will provide the ultra-leathers and ultra-suedes, while other materials include oak veneers for the cabinets, leather seats, and hydro-dipped Piaçava wood seat shells.
“Transporting key decision makers and teams around the world in half the time can be the difference between success and failure,” said Brig. Gen. Britton, executive officer of the Presidential and Executive Airlift Director, when the collaboration with Exosonic was announced. “By teaming with industry, we are proving the United States Air Force can deliver technology leaps while maximizing return on taxpayer investment.
Norris Tie, CEO of Exosonic, added that the partnership “represents not only commercial but government promise for low-boom supersonic travel.”
