Follow on Google News | A Bargain for President Trump's Air Force Onehttps://twitter.com/ https://twitter.com/ Wright Williams & Kelly, Inc.'s (WWK) aerospace and defense team took up President Trump's challenge and confirmed that the price of Air Force One Program can come WAY DOWN! This week, Aviation Week's James Drew released an article titled "Presidential Bomber? Report Touts B-21 For Air Force One" based on WWK's study, "More Capabilities for Less: Air Force One Replacement." "A panel of aerospace and defense analysts has proposed ditching the U.S. Air Force's Boeing 747-8-based Air Force One in favor of the Northrop Grumman B-21 stealth bomber, or a less-costly militarized Boeing 737." (James Drew, AW&ST) Compared to the Pentagon's existing $4 billion sole source, no bid proposal, WWK's alternatives have less technical risk and can be delivered sooner than Boeing's 747-8s based Air Force One Replacements expected in 2023. A more economical Air Force One will meet the needs of allies such as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan who plans to replace J ASDF Air Force One in 2018. Allies like Germany, U.K., Australia, Canada, and others with limited budgets will also be shopping for similar hardened aircraft.
