    @TheAirbusA380addict First, they use STILL use analog flight instruments as they're less susceptible to EMP attacks, with fuel tanks massive enough to stay airborne at around 35.4 hours with fuel and generally stay airborne for a full week with the added bonus of being able to be refueled mid-air. Then, we have communications systems, liquid oxygen converters and storage systems for baggage and spare parts. The plane is also shielded with 'hardened' material. The lower trailing wire antenna (TWA) area contains the aircraft's 5-mile-long (8.0 km) TWA reel—which is used by up to 13 communications links—the antenna operator's station, as well as the antenna reel controls and indicators. Much attention has been given to hardening this area against EMP, especially as the TWA, essential for communicating with Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines, is particularly effective in picking up EMP

    They can be in flight for a whole week, subject to aerial refueling. All equipment on board is protected from the damaging factors of a nuclear explosion
