According to reports, US President Donald Trump has commissioned L3Harris Technologies to convert a used Boeing 747 to be used as an interim presidential jet. US aircraft manufacturer Boeing's plan to replace Air Force One has been continuously delayed. US aerospace and military technology contractor L3Harris will modify a 747 aircraft once used by the Qatari government, sources said. According to reports, Trump hopes the plane will be put into use as early as fall. Earlier reports said that due to the bleak prospects for delivery of the new Boeing aircraft before the end of Trump's presidential term, Trump intends to use this 747 aircraft previously owned by Qatar to fill the gap. A representative for L3Harris declined to comment. The Qatari government did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
