Supersonic Aviation Modernization Act

This legislation, known as the Supersonic Aviation Modernization Act, aims to facilitate the operation of civil supersonic aircraft within the national airspace system. It mandates the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to update its existing regulations to enable this advancement. Specifically, the bill requires the FAA Administrator to issue or revise regulations within one year of the act's enactment. These revisions will allow civil aircraft to fly at speeds greater than Mach 1 without requiring special authorization, provided that no sonic boom reaches the ground in the United States during their operation.
