15.The airplane Trump visited at the Palm Beach International Airport is a 13-year-old airframe formerly owned by Qatar's royal family, according to a report by Reuters.
17.Titanium alloy was the only option for the airframe providing the strength of stainless steel, a relatively lightweight and, most importantly, much-needed durability at excessive temperatures.
18.Tweaking the airframes, such as the potential upgrade to Airbus's A320 short-haul jets with composite wings that can carry larger, more efficient engines, may help—but only a bit.
19.Except for a couple of engineering stations with a few seats, the airplane is devoid of any significant interior fitting and has cables visibly running along the airframe.
20.This friction can cause static to build up, with the excess electrons often accumulating in the thinnest edges of the airframe, such as the ends of the ailerons and flaps.
