US EditionTrump's Drone Orders Aim to Counter Threats While Encouraging Flying Cars, Supersonic Flights
- In June 2025, President Trump signed three executive orders aiming to address drone threats and advance flying cars and supersonic flight in U.S. airspace.
- The orders respond to rising drone risks highlighted by attacks like Ukraine's Operation Spider Web, which used 117 modified drones against Russian airbases.
- They direct the FAA to expedite rules allowing drones beyond operator sight, expand no-fly zones, enhance law enforcement, and improve counter-drone training nationwide.
- One order tasks the FAA with replacing the 1973 flight speed ban over Mach 1 with a noise standard, enabling flights like Boom Supersonic’s XB-1, which broke Mach 1.1 in January 2025.
- These policies seek to restore U.S. airspace sovereignty, promote leadership in drone technology, and foster innovation in flying cars and quieter supersonic aircraft.
