Survivable Airborne Command Center
#3
Several decases ago I had the opportunity to visit Air Force 2, and I recall asking a question regarding EMP resistance... I was met with some piercing gazes... I was just a pup, and it only afterwards dawned on me that such questions were not 'uttered' in public, or spoken of among "visitors." (Remember, it was ages ago.)

I noticed that they are "hardening" these new models against EMP, but I have never heard how that is achieved, given the physical forces which EMPs consist of.  Do aircraft like these use fiber optics instead of fly-by-wire (perhaps both?)  Is there such a thing as practical EMP shielding in a platform like this?
