FAA Sets Noise-based Certification Standard For Supersonic Aircraft

India, July 1 -- The Federal Aviation Administration has proposed a rule that would replace the longstanding prohibition on civil supersonic flight in the United States with a modern, performance-based regulatory framework.

The proposed rule sets a noise-based certification standard for supersonic aircraft. In addition to this first rule, FAA said it plans to propose another rule later this year, establishing landing and takeoff noise standards for supersonic aircraft.
