The rule simplifies and clarifies procedures for obtaining FAA approval for supersonic flight testing in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>See also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/en\/2020\/12\/faa-approves-the-use-pfizers-vaccine-for-pilots-and-controllers.html\">FAA approves the use Pfizer\u2019s vaccine for pilots and controllers.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s action is a significant step toward reintroducing civil supersonic flight and demonstrates the Department\u2019s commitment to safe innovation,\u201d said U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>See also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/en\/2020\/12\/us-epa-finalizes-the-first-regulations-on-aircraft-emissions.html\">US EPA finalizes the first regulations on

said FAA Administrator Steve Dickson. \u201cThe testing of supersonic aircraft at Mach 1 will only be conducted following consideration of any impact to the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
