Executive Order
Summary
Repeals overland supersonic flight ban (14 CFR 91.817, 91.819, 91.821), directs FAA to create new noise standards, coordinates R&D, and promotes international alignment to re-establish US leadership in supersonic aviation. Prioritizes speed and industry growth via deregulation. Risks include inadequately addressing noise and environmental impacts crucial for public acceptance and sustainable deployment, potentially sacrificing community well-being for perceived innovation leadership.
