U.S. President-elect earlier was displeased with costs of Boeing aircraft Ukrainian state-owned airplane manufacturer Antonov has offered its aircraft for Trump to consider using as the Presidential airplane. (uatoday.tv) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I think that ultimately Trump will go for the 747-8, the only other viable alternative to this would be the Airbus A380 airframe. Although it is not 'Made in America', all the sensitive electronics and security features I think would need to be sourced from approved American Suppliers. The A380 though is now just breaking even in its manufacturing costs and with more airframes in the sky that Boeings offer. I think that the engine choice would be 'up in the air' (No pun intended).
Trump will never go for it, they aren't made in America.
Neither is his line of clothing...
Antonov are not very bad airplane. I had to fly it as a passenger. And that Ukrainian aircraft in Russia is irrelevant.
unbelievable.... the secret service has the greater say in the matter, so let us see what occurs . if trump wants to fly on a Russian aircraft that uses Russian engines, good luck to him. As a political statement, it's a duzzy..... as a sensible, safe or safer choice, not so much....
But Patrick... Did you actually READ the article? Already in the Headline is written that Antonov is UKRANIAN!
Antonov is in Ukraine, which is (at least for now) a independent country... And this was to be understood as a publicity stunt, as mentioned in the article.
Boeing,he certainly has enough hot air coming out of his gob to keep it up in the air and with all the golf courses he owns he would have no problems where to land, hopefully in russia with his friend pukin putin.
