Hidden Installation

Completely out of sight, The Air Force One operating unit is installed under the hood of the towed vehicle. A small actuator is mounted on the brake arm of the towed vehicle above the foot pedal so it is always out of the way and completely out sight.

Always ready to tow

With Air Force One, attach your AFO jumper and you are ready to tow. There is no set up in the towed vehicle and, because AFO uses the power brakes there is no need for adjustments. AFO will brake the car just as you would if you were driving it: gently, efficiently, and truly 100% proportionate.  Best of all it is all automatic.

Fits EVERY tow vehicle

Air Force One fits every tow vehicle, including the newest “live” pedal cars.  In addition, the Air Force One is easy to transfer to a new towed vehicle . Many of the semi-permanent systems today will not work on ALL towed vehicles or they require special parts for certain towed vehicles. Not Air Force One, Air Force One is absolutely a universal fit for every towed vehicle.

Power brakes active in the towed vehicle
Air Force One uses a patented process to create vacuum in the towed vehicle’s power brake system. This process energizes the power brakes for the towed vehicle without the engine running. Air Force One does not require an electronic pump, so battery drain cannot be an issue.  In fact, there are no moving parts to wear out and no circuit boards to go bad.  Air Force One will be the last supplemental brake you will ever buy.

Truly proportionate braking
Progressive is good, proportionate is better.  Using the coach air is the only way to create true 100% proportionate braking effort. Whether you are on a bumpy road or using your exhaust brake down a hill, Air Force will only apply the brakes in the towed vehicle when you apply the brake in the coach.  The braking in the towed vehicle mirrors the coach WITHOUT any complicated adjustments.  Inertia-based systems simply cannot offer this level of simplicity and consistency.  Using deceleration to determine braking is progressive, using the action of your foot on the brake pedal and the associated amount of air is proportionate.

Chassis Approved Air Tap In

Air Force One
uses an approved air tap in method so you will not affect the warranty on your air brakes. DOT and FMVSS (Federal Vehicle Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) #121 require supplemental brake systems to have a separate air tank (ping tank) and a separate valve to control the supplemental system. All other air brake systems take air off of the rear wheels to apply the supplemental brake which can impact your warranty. Spartan requires a separate valve and ping tank to maintain your warranty which you must purchase separately with any other air brake. Only Air Force One meets the regulations and only Air Force One includes everything you need.

Coach Notification

Many systems have no signal at all and others generate the signal from activation.  The best signal for you to know when the brakes are on in the towed vehicle is from the brake light switch.  Air Force One includes a simple LED light that mounts on your tow bar.  The light turns on when the brakes are applied in the tow car.  If the light is on, the brakes are on.  You want to know if the brakes are on, not simply if the system is cycling.  The Super Bright LED’s will let you know when the brakes are on.  Radio signals are not as dependable as a wire especially in the newer diesel
rigs.  Air Force One lets you know what you need to know, when you need to know it!
