Trump Signs Orders On Deregulating Flying Cars, Supersonic Flight

President Donald Trump signed executive orders on June 6 to deregulate and open research and development into flying cars and supersonic aviation technology. The orders target American drone capabilities, technology, and regulations. One order instructs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to begin testing flying cars, also known as electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL). The order will establish a pilot program working in conjunction with both public and private stakeholders. Flying cars are expected to revolutionize transportation, cargo delivery, and logistics. Trump's order also repeals regulations that hindered the development of supersonic aircraft and instructs the FAA to create a standard for supersonic aircraft noise certification. The order promotes international engagement to align global supersonic regulations and bilateral agreements for international operations. Trump aims to revolutionize supersonic aviation in the United States, which has been prevented by regulations for years. Recent advances in aerospace engineering, material science, and noise reduction have made domestic supersonic flight safe, sustainable, and commercially viable. The government has already begun issuing contracts and agreements with major commercial airlines to push the industry forward.
