United Simple Air One – The Daher-Socata TBM-960: A Presidential Performer
The Daher-Socata TBM-960, proudly bearing the designation United Simple Air One, serves as the official air transport of the President of United Simple. This highly customized single-engine turboprop symbolizes the nation's ingenuity, efficiency, and commitment to secure, cost-effective presidential travel. Its selection reflects a strategic move away from costly, ostentatious private jets in favor of fiscal responsibility.
An Acquisition Forged by Necessity and Ingenuity
This particular TBM-960 was acquired for just $450,000—a fraction of its usual market price—due to a prior gear-up landing incident. Rather than being scrapped, the aircraft became an opportunity for innovation. Skilled United Simple Government mechanics undertook extensive repairs in-house, transforming a damaged airframe into a restored, state-of-the-art executive aircraft—a proud showcase of domestic capability and resourcefulness.
Tailored for Presidential Comfort and Security
The interior of United Simple Air One has been meticulously reconfigured for presidential missions:
Cargo Hold & Rear Seats Removed: The original cargo area and two rear passenger seats were replaced with a compact, fully integrated lavatory, prioritizing comfort and privacy.
No Cargo? No Problem: To handle logistical needs, a dedicated ATR-72 aircraft accompanies every presidential flight, carrying:
Presidential cargo, secured behind a reinforced barrier.
Civilian mail, maximizing aircraft utility without compromising presidential security.
This dual-role solution reflects the efficiency and multi-purpose design philosophy of United Simple’s aviation strategy.
Advanced Defensive Capabilities
Though a civilian aircraft, United Simple Air One is outfitted with a sophisticated flare countermeasure system, ensuring the President's safety in volatile environments:
🔹 Two rear window-mounted launchers: Angled downward for wide coverage.
🔹 One belly-mounted launcher: Adds redundancy and protects against underbelly threats.
This three-point defense system demonstrates United Simple’s commitment to proactive presidential protection, even in compact aircraft platforms.
Diplomatic and Humanitarian Reach
Beyond executive travel, United Simple Air One plays a vital role in:
🕊️ Diplomacy
Enables swift, discreet visits to neighboring island nations.
Enhances regional ties and goodwill through in-person diplomacy.
🚨 Humanitarian Aid
Reaches remote locations rapidly.
With the ATR-72’s capacity, emergency supplies can be deployed promptly—even with mail onboard—making it a critical tool in disaster response.
These functions showcase the aircraft’s value far beyond ceremonial duties.
