The Department of Transportation on Tuesday announced that regulators are moving toward enabling civilian supersonic flights over the continental U.S., which have been banned for decades due to sonic booms. Supersonic flights travel at speeds at or above Mach 1, flying at about 770 miles per hour or more. By contrast, commercial airliners generally fly between 550 and 600 miles per hour, giving supersonic aircraft a speed edge that can reduce travel times. The FAA is planning to finalize the rules by mid-2027.
