Space Force One

The Space Force One is the Presidential spaceplane of the New United States of America.

Description
Space Force One is a NUSA Presidential Spaceplane, registration number "N28701-7620", it is first seen in the Phantom Liberty Teaser Trailer released on September 6th 2022.

The aircraft presents a set of wings, and canards at the front, it is able to perform atmospheric flight, but there are no obvious signs of VTOL capabilities which suggests it may be launched vertically by a booster before activating its main method of propulsion, like the space shuttle...

It is unclear whether the aircraft has the ability to reach space and navigate to Stations or Off-world Colonies, like Crystal Palace, or if it's only used in suborbital hops for rapid transit in between continents for high profile passengers.

The interior of the aircraft is similar to modern private jets cabins, the president's office is shown to be located just over the canards, it features a windowless cabin and uses a virtual window system overlooking the control surfaces instead, this panel displays the local time in different capital cities, as well as miscellaneous statistics on the aircraft's speed and location...

History
In 2077, President Myers, netrunner Song So Mi, and nine more crewmembers were traveling above the Californian coast on the Space Force One. While Myers and So Mi were talking, a missile struck right into the spaceplane's wing, forcing it to go down. Additionally, communications had been jammed and the spacecraft was being hacked, with its trajectory directly towards Night City's Dogtown. So Mi managed to contact a merc in Night City called V thanks to the Relic they possessed. After convincing the merc to help them, Songbrid guided V onto a vantage point from where they would get a good view of the situation. Shortly after getting on the top of the EBM Petrochem Stadium, another missile struck into the plane, cutting all communications. So Mi got President Myers into the spaceplane's saferoom, knowing she would survive the crash. So Mi herself barely managed to get into the emergency lifepod, and after passing right above the stadium, the lifepod got ejected, falling on the eastern side of Dogtown, while the Space Force One crashed-landed on the western side.

After surviving the landing, So Mi guided V to rescue Myers from the crash site.
