Supersonic Aviation Modernization Act

What this bill does

  • The FAA must allow civil aircraft to fly faster than sound over U.S. land if sonic booms don't reach the ground.
  • Aircraft manufacturers and operators would gain regulatory permission to develop and operate supersonic commercial flights.
  • The FAA must set noise limits matching subsonic aircraft standards and review them as technology improves.

  2. 02

    Which communities near flight corridors could experience the greatest impact from supersonic aircraft operations, and what compensation or protections might they receive?

  3. 03

    What evidence exists that current or emerging technology can reliably prevent sonic booms from reaching the ground during supersonic flight?
