Crucial Quote<\/h2>\n

Technological advances \u201cwill eliminate the old sonic boom,\u201d FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said in a statement. \u201cThis means we can ultimately repeal the ban from the 1970s on supersonic flight over U.S. territory while minimizing noise impacts to residents in communities along the route and near airports.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why Were Planes Banned From Supersonic Speed While Flying Over Land?<\/h2>\n

The primary reason was public opposition to loud sonic booms. In the 1960s, a plane flying faster than the speed of sound\u2014about 660 mph at high altitudes\u2014created shock waves that traveled to the ground and reached human ears as a loud gunshot-like crack or thunder-like boom. Tests during that decade, including the Oklahoma City sonic boom experiments<\/u>, found repeated booms broke windows, damaged property and generated thousands of public complaints. In its 1973 ruling, the FAA stated that due to the limits of technology at that time, \u201ca prohibition was needed to protect the public from sonic boom \u2026 by preventing operations of a civil aircraft at a true flight Mach number greater than 1.\u201d Several years later, Air France and British Airways introduced Concorde<\/u>, and were allowed to serve New York\u2019s John F. Kennedy International Airport as long as flights remained subsonic over U.S. land. Notably, \u201cthe prestigious London-New York service was the only truly profitable [Concorde] route, supported by high-powered business and celebrity travel,\u201d wrote<\/u> a former British Airways network planner for Forbes in 2021.<\/p>\n

What Companies Are Developing Supersonic Planes Today?<\/h2>\n

Several U.S. companies are working on a new generation of luxurious supersonic passenger aircraft with much quieter sonic booms and improved fuel efficiency. In particular, Colorado-headquartered Boom Supersonic<\/u> says it has pre-orders from United Airlines, American Airlines and Japan Airlines for its Overture jets, which will carry 60-80 passengers. Atlanta-based Spike Aerospace<\/u> is developing smaller Diplomat jets for up to 18 passengers. Both companies\u2019 websites tout future transatlantic flights in under four hours.<\/p>\n
