New renderings show the cabin interior of the supersonic presidential jet designed by Exosonic that could fly at nearly twice the speed of sound and cut travel time in half. The presidential plane is a 31-passenger version of the company's concept for a 70-passenger commercial jet and could theoretically reach speeds of 1,380mph. CNN Travel noted that the plane might primarily be used as Air Force Two - which carries the vice president. During flight, Air Force One is capable of reaching a maximum altitude of 45,100 ft.By comparison, a commercial airliner usually reaches about 30,000ft. Air Force One also holds two galleys for food preparation, a doctor on board every flight, and a medical operating room.
