President Joe Biden’s administration has decided to cancel the red, white, and blue paint scheme of new Air Force One jets ordered by former President Donald Trump in 2018, new reports revealed Friday.
POLITCO and Reuters both citing administration officials first reported the White House’s decision to cancel the paint scheme took place after an Air Force study revealed the paint scheme would increase the project’s cost and could lead to excessive temperatures due to the dark blue section covering the plane’s engines and underbody.
“The Trump paint scheme is not being considered because it could drive additional engineering, time and cost,” one official said.
An Air Force spokesperson told Reuters the darker color of the paint scheme “might contribute to temperatures exceeding the current qualification limits of a small number of components.”
