The redecoration of Air Force One could cause overheating.
The new generation of planes were ordered by Trump.
The plane runs hot when the dark color scheme is used.
According to sources, a redecoration of Air Force One could cause the plane to get too hot.
The baby blue on the underside of the Air Force One jets was changed to a dark blue and red design by Trump in order to make them more patriotic.
Since John F Kennedy's presidency, the president's planes have been redecorated.
There were similarities between Trump's color scheme and his own.
After canceling a $4 billion deal with Boeing, Trump claimed that he had secured a new $3.9 billion deal for the converted jets.
The company made a $1 billion loss due to the deal.
The new colors could cause the plane to be too hot, according to a source.
The underside of the plane needs to be dark blue in order to retain more heat than lighter colors.
Modifications may have to be made to cool parts of the plane. The existing color scheme could be an alternative.
The concerns were confirmed by an Air Force spokesman.
The underside of the VC-25B aircraft might contribute to temperatures exceeding the current qualification limits of a small number of components according to analysis.
The White House hasn't made a decision about reverting to the earlier colors or keeping the Trump paint scheme.
