U.S. President Joe Biden will use the U.S. Marine Corps 1 aircraft to take on some close-range travel operations, especially the White House to and from the U.S. Air Force 1 mission. The U.S. Marine Corps 1 was previously used as a VH-3D Sea King helicopter, but now the U.S. is replacing the Marine Corps 1 with a new VH-92 helicopter. VH-92 helicopter has a lot of problems since it entered service, so for a long time VH-92 helicopter can only carry White House officials or special services personnel for operation, which is also to ensure the safety of US President Biden, but because the old model of helicopter has been overwhelmed, so VH-92 helicopter will also take on the travel mission of US President Biden. Now there are even more serious problems in the United States, which prevents VH-92 helicopters from taking off and landing normally on the lawn in front of the White House.
As early as 2018, during Trump's tenure, the VH-92 helicopter has been found to cause high temperature exhaust gas to cause the South Lawn of the White House to be burned, but so far the United States has no solution, and because the VH-92 helicopter of the new Marine Corps No. 1 helicopter fleet cost 5 billion to build will wither the lawn due to high temperature exhaust gas after landing on the White House lawn, so the VH-92 helicopter used by Biden has been temporarily grounded, as long as the landing is carried out in the White House, then it must be completed on the paved groundFor a long time, the White House South Lawn took off Marine Corps No. 1 to pick up Biden or other American presidents has become a representative picture.
Judging from the report given by the Pentagon, in some cases, the high temperature generated by the helicopter's auxiliary power unit and engine exhaust will continue to cause damage to the lawn, because the VH-92 helicopter has had quite a lot of unreliability in the past, and in the annual report provided by the Pentagon, it only shows that the voice communication of these helicopters has been improved and can effectively perform administrative tasks, and the Pentagon has not made any response at all. If U.S. President Joe Biden is prevented from boarding the White House on the South Lawn simply because the helicopters are damaged, then it's clear that Biden won't buy it, and it doesn't seem like there's an effective way for the U.S. to circumvent the damage to the lawn caused by helicopters unless the helicopters are diverted to land.
In order to ensure the safety of the South Lawn of the White House, the White House pointed out that US President Joe Biden will continue to travel in VH-3D Sea King helicopters, which also means that the old models will continue to be in service. The President of the United States needs to have up to 5 helicopters in a row during the trip, and these 5 helicopters with the same appearance all play the role of decoy, and they also need to constantly change the formation in the air, because Biden can not take the new VH-92 helicopter, which also means that the other 5 helicopters must also be completed by VH-3D Sea King helicopters, otherwise they will not play any role as a decoy.
At present, a large number of weapons and equipment of the US military have become relatively old, and the accidents of these old equipment are also the second in a row, and the VH-3D Sea King helicopter that US President Biden is riding in has also begun to get older and older, and in order to avoid damage to the lawn, will there be some safety reasons for Biden to continue to use the old model? Although the degree of maintenance of US government special planes is much higher than that of ordinary fighters, such old is also a fact that cannot be changed. Text/Iris
