Study on Airport Readiness for Supersonic Aircraft

This act mandates a study to assess whether major U.S. airports are prepared to handle very high-speed aircraft. The goal is to potentially reduce long-haul flight times in the future, but requires evaluating infrastructure, noise, and other factors. The study's findings could influence aviation development and potentially the availability of faster air travel for citizens.
Key points
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will study the readiness of large U.S. airports for high-speed aircraft.
The study will evaluate runway length, ground equipment, air traffic control, and environmental regulations like noise and emissions.
A report with recommendations for policy changes and infrastructure improvements will be submitted to Congress.
The aim is to prepare airport infrastructure for future, significantly faster air travel.
