Abstract

A bipartisan group of US legislators are pushing to lift the ban on civil jets flying at supersonic speeds over land, potentially benefiting Boom Technology Inc. in its competition with Chinese rivals. The Supersonic Aviation Modernization Act aims to amend FAA rules that currently restrict supersonic travel, requiring special authorization. If passed, this legislation would allow Boom to operate high-speed passenger flights over US territory, with its XB-1 demonstrator already breaking the sound barrier without creating a sonic boom. Senator Ted Budd and Representative Troy Nehls introduced the bill, emphasizing the importance of US leadership in the aviation industry. [Extracted from the article]
