The FAA has proposed new rules that would allow supersonic airliners to operate over US cities.
These rules are contingent on the aircraft being designed to produce minimal noise, avoiding the sonic boom associated with traditional supersonic flights.
If enacted, the regulations would mark a significant shift in air travel policy, potentially paving the way for the commercial use of supersonic jets in populated areas.
The proposal is part of ongoing efforts to modernize aviation regulations while balancing noise concerns and technological advancements in aircraft design.
