President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order that instructs the Federal Aviation Administration to eliminate the 52-year prohibition on supersonic flight over U.S. soil.

This significant policy change was implemented mere weeks after lawmakers introduced bipartisan legislation with the same objective.

The order directs the FAA to eliminate the overland supersonic prohibition and establish noise-based certification standards, which will permit faster-than-sound travel as long as no audible sonic explosion is heard on the ground.

“The truth is that Americans should be able to travel from New York to Los Angeles in under four hours,” stated Michael Kratsios, the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, to reporters on Friday.

The action has the potential to expedite the development of commercial supersonic flight, including the endeavors of Boom Supersonic.

Boom’s XB-1 demonstrator was the first privately developed civil aircraft to breach the sound barrier over the continental United States in January.

In an email to TechCrunch on Friday, Boom CEO Blake Scholl responded with the phrase “Booooom!” when requested to provide a comment.

Scholl further stated, “The sound barrier was never physical; it was regulatory.”

The resumption of supersonic passenger air travel is merely a matter of time, as supersonic has been legalized.

On Friday, Trump also signed two additional executive orders that pertain to the future of flight.

The first order is intended to expedite the commercialization of drones and the development of electric vertical takeoff vehicles, while the second order is intended to create a federal task force to address drone flight restrictions.
