The main task of the aircraft — the control of American nuclear forces in case of war with weapons of mass destruction.

First and foremost, they are intended for the US President, defense Minister and chiefs of staff of the armed.

In the case of a nuclear war and other emergency situations specially equipped Board allows to control the actions of the troops from the air if ground control system will be destroyed.

It is worth noting that a total of four Boeing E-4B, each machine is estimated at $250 million, He is the second place among the most expensive aircraft (First place later occupied B-2 Spirit — 2200 million US dollars per plane).

The crew of each aircraft ranges from 60 to 114 people and exceeds in number the crews of any other aircraft, the U.S. air force. Them four in order to at any time of the day and night one of the planes could have a few minutes to be ready to take the first persons to go with them to your classified route.

Technical characteristics of the aircraft

Of course, a special plane could not do without special technical characteristics. In particular, the calculation in the first place that to be in the air, he can for as long as necessary.

Therefore, the aircraft is equipped with equipment for receiving fuel from a refueling aircraft. With periodic refueling in the air, the plane can stay in the air for a week (perhaps more). His term of duty in the air is limited only to the working life of the oil in macrosistema engines.

To fully refuel an E-4B in the air need two fully fueled aircraft KC-135.

Performance characteristics:

Crew=60-114

Length=70,5 m

Wingspan=59.7 m

Height=19,3 m

Wing area=510 m2

Empty weight=190 000 kg

Maximum takeoff weight=370 000 kg

Engines= 4 turbofan General Electric CF6-50E2

Each thrust of engine =234 kN Max. speed=969 km/h

Range=11,000 km

Ceiling=14 000 m

Wing loading=730 kg/m2

Is there any analogues in other countries?

I’ve been trying to find, but in the end found only the Russian Il-80. This is the Russian “doomsday plane”.

But it is worth noting that its characteristics are at least not inferior to his “Us counterpart”, though appeared a little later.

The characteristics of this apocalyptic aviation technology classified, but some details about it are known.

For example the fact that the doomsday plane Russia capable in the air more than 3 days, has small power consumption and low weight.

There is a antenna that may be disclosed in the air at a distance of 4 km (the E-4B it is also available). But Windows has only the cockpit.

The hull of the ship has a blind structure. The rest – the doomsday plane of the Russian Federation are also equipped with Autonomous refueling system and satellite communication system, allowing to supply operating commands all sorts of troops, to make the launches of ballistic missiles carrying nuclear weapons.

The radio signal is fed from the aircraft breaks through the depths of the seas and oceans for several kilometers.

Key features, the lack of portholes in the cabin – has its practical explanation.

The developers made such a design of the fuselage to provide the aircraft with advanced protection from the damaging factors that carries nuclear weapons.

On the wings of the aircraft equipped with generators. They provide Autonomous, uninterrupted power supply of the vessel.

The length of the generators reaches 9.5 m and a diameter of 1.3 m. To communicate with submarines in the tail of the aircraft is retractable antenna.

The aircraft of the day of judgment, released on the basis of the Il-80, is inspiring sizes.

Its wingspan is 48,06 m. the wing Area has a magnitude slightly less than a football field – 320 square meters.

Impressive height and length of the military air the iron bird. They are, respectively, 15,81 m and M. 59,54

Controls in this aircraft by the crew, which consists of five people.

Maximum flight range without refueling of 3600 km, the ceiling height, which can reach aircraft — 11000 meters.

Top speed of 850 km/h takeoff weight — 208 tons.
