Overview

• The FAA must lift a 1973 overland supersonic flight ban and set noise certification standards to enable faster-than-sound travel across the U.S.
• New regulations will allow routine commercial drone flights beyond the operator’s line of sight, paving the way for deliveries and emergency response missions.
• An eVTOL integration pilot program will fast-track testing of flying cars for uses such as air taxis, medical transport and cargo delivery.
• A federal task force will monitor drone threats and expand counter-drone enforcement around sensitive areas and public events.
• Federal agencies are now required to prioritize American-made drones in procurement to cut dependence on foreign suppliers.
