The FAA has proposed scrapping its 50-year ban on supersonic flight over land, after new technology showed aircraft can break the sound barrier without a disruptive sonic boom reaching the ground. If adopted, and other countries follow suit, it could pave the way for ultra-fast flights returning to Australia, cutting trips like Sydney to Perth to just a few hours. 10 News+ LIVE: Trusted, in-depth reporting from Australia and around the world. 👍 Like this stream to support our in-depth coverage 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications for breaking news alerts ↗ Share this coverage to keep others informed 📲 Stay Across Breaking News 24/7 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/10NewsPlus/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@10newsplus/ Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/tennewsplus 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0tWZ6sIJTQ2WHgYdjgaAA7?si=cb30d7fd3d3541fa 📺 Watch 10 News+ 6pm Monday–Friday | 6:30pm Sunday on Network 10 Missed the bulletin?
