Bill > HR3410

This bill, known as the Supersonic Aviation Modernization Act, requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator to update or create new regulations within one year of enactment that would permit civil supersonic aircraft to operate in U.S. national airspace without requiring special authorization, with a critical condition: the aircraft must be designed and operated in a way that prevents sonic booms from reaching the ground. A sonic boom is the loud thunderclap-like sound created when an aircraft travels faster than the speed of sound (Mach 1), which has historically been a major barrier to widespread supersonic flight over populated areas. By mandating "no sonic boom" technology, the bill aims to pave the way for a new generation of quieter supersonic aircraft, potentially revolutionizing commercial air travel by reducing long-distance flight times while addressing previous environmental and noise concerns that led to restrictions on supersonic flight over land.
