Leading The World in Supersonic Flight

President Donald J. Trump issued an order to rejuvenate the United States' leadership in supersonic flight by updating outdated regulations that have restricted overland supersonic travel. The order directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to repeal certain prohibitive regulations and establish new noise-based standards for supersonic aircraft. It also mandates coordinated research and development efforts to advance supersonic technologies, involving various federal agencies and industry stakeholders. Additionally, the order emphasizes international collaboration to align global supersonic flight regulations and secure necessary safety agreements. This initiative aims to make supersonic flight safe, sustainable, and commercially viable, bolstering American innovation and competitiveness in aerospace.
