US EditionTrump’s new drone orders aim to counter threats while encouraging flying cars and supersonic flights
- Last Friday, President Trump issued an executive order directing the FAA to lift the 52-year-old prohibition on civilian supersonic flights within the United States, reversing long-standing limitations.
- The ban started in 1973 due to disruptive sonic boom noise, but advances by NASA and startups have reduced this noise, prompting legislation to permit high-tech supersonic flights.
- Boom Supersonic and others have developed aircraft that break the sound barrier without audible booms, featuring innovative designs and investing in 80-passenger airliners supported by private backers.
- The White House stated this order removes decades-old regulatory barriers so US firms can lead supersonic flight again, with Boom CEO Blake Scholl expressing gratitude for the move accelerating development.
- This policy shift aims to restore US leadership in aerospace innovation, potentially halving coast-to-coast flight times while establishing FAA noise standards considering community and economic factors.
