President Trump has lifted a 52-year ban on supersonic flights over the US through an executive order, tasking the FAA to create regulations limiting noise pollution from such aircraft. The ban, instated in 1973 due to disruptive sonic booms, has seen advancements in technology leading to quieter supersonic travel. Companies like Boom Supersonic are developing aircraft designs to minimize noise and increase efficiency. The order aligns with ongoing legislative efforts to allow supersonic travel in the US, potentially transforming intercity travel by significantly reducing flight times.
President Trump signed an executive order allowing supersonic flight over the US, aiming to remove regulatory barriers and promote technological innovation.
With innovation from companies like Boom Supersonic, the future of high-speed air travel could mean halved flight times between major US cities.
