US Paves Way for Supersonic Jets to Zoom Over Land Again

## Summary

The U.S. is clearing the runway for supersonic flight over land by updating old rules that held back fast, quiet planes. The FAA will scrap outdated bans and set new noise standards within 180 days to 18 months, opening doors for faster, safer, and more eco-friendly air travel. This move boosts American innovation, helps businesses, and puts the U.S. back in the lead for supersonic aviation.

## Effects PRIA read

- Ban on Overland Supersonic Flight Removed: benefit, medium. The FAA must repeal the prohibition on overland supersonic flight in 14 CFR 91.817 within 180 days of this order (issued June 6, 2025). This change removes a legal ban that has limited supersonic operations over land.
- Interim Noise Certification Standard Required: benefit, medium. The FAA must establish an interim noise-based certification standard and may modify 14 CFR 91.818 as necessary within 180 days of this order (June 6, 2025). The interim standard is meant to govern certification while longer-term rules are developed.
- Additional Regulatory Barriers Repealed: benefit, low. The FAA is directed to take immediate steps to repeal 14 CFR 91.819 and 14 CFR 91.821, removing additional regulatory barriers to supersonic aviation. The order instructs these repeals as part of the regulatory reform effort.
- Noise Standards Rulemaking Launched: mixed, medium. Within 18 months of June 6, 2025, the FAA must issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to set supersonic aircraft noise certification standards under 14 CFR Part 36 and amend 14 CFR 91.817, and any final rule must be issued within 24 months of the order. The proposed rule must define acceptable noise…
- Federal Coordination of Supersonic RDT&E: benefit, low. The Director of OSTP will coordinate supersonic research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E) through the National Science and Technology Council, including identifying RDT&E needs, coordinating federally funded and industry-led testing at Federal test sites, and collecting and sharing res…
- International Alignment and Safety Agreements: benefit, low. The Secretary of Transportation and the FAA, in consultation with OSTP and the Secretary of State, must engage the International Civil Aviation Organization and foreign partners to seek global alignment on supersonic regulations and pursue bilateral aviation safety agreements needed for safe intern…
