US presidential transportation includes a fleet of militarized aircraft, helicopters, and armored vehicles tailored for security and operational capability. Air Force One (a militarized Boeing 747) and sometimes a militarized Boeing 757 provide long-range airlift and secure communications. Marine One helicopters serve short-distance travel. A secure armored limousine known as "The Beast" handles ground transit. Design emphasis is on safety, functionality, and in-transit leadership capabilities, enabling secure communication and continuity of government.
