Breaking the sound barrier, again. Today, @realDonaldTrump issued an executive order that effectively lifts the 52-year ban on civil supersonic flight over land in the U.S. It directs the FAA to repeal the supersonic speed limit as long as aircraft don’t produce an audible sonic boom on the ground.
Thank you, President Trump, for unlocking the future of faster and quieter travel.
This presidential action comes after a bipartisan group of key Congressional leaders introduced the Supersonic Aviation Modernization Act on May 14, 2025.
The legislation calls on the FAA to revise the regulation prohibiting supersonic flight over land. In the Senate, @SenTedBuddNC, @SenThomTillis, @SenMikeLee, and @TimSheehyMT introduced the bill.
On the House side, Aviation Subcommittee Chair @RepTroyNehls and @RepDavids introduced the bill.
Thank you @USDOT & @SecDuffy for their support and leadership in advancing supersonic flight in the U.S.
