senate 05/14/2025 - 119th Congress

We are working to update regulations to allow civil aircraft to fly faster than the speed of sound in U.S. airspace, as long as their flights do not create sonic booms that can be heard on the ground. This aims to enable advanced supersonic travel while minimizing noise impact for communities below.
