Trump’s new drone orders aim to counter threats while encouraging flying cars and supersonic flights
- On June 6, 2025, the President issued a directive instructing the FAA to remove the longstanding 52-year prohibition on supersonic flight over the continental United States.
- The ban, imposed in 1973 due to disruptive sonic booms that sometimes broke windows, faced renewed scrutiny as private firms developed quieter supersonic technology.
- Startups like Boom Supersonic demonstrated aircraft that break the sound barrier without audible booms, using innovative designs and received backing from investors and government contracts.
- A White House fact sheet stated the order removes decades-old regulatory barriers, promotes innovation, and a Boom Supersonic CEO praised the leadership, saying it will accelerate their airliner development.
- This policy shift aims to reestablish U.S. leadership in supersonic passenger travel and could halve cross-country flight times if currently pending legislation is enacted.
