"The 'Supersonic Aviation Modernization Act' could vastly increase the potential market and emissions of Boom Supersonic, a planemaking startup backed by major airlines and investors."

U.S. lawmakers have put forward the 'Supersonic Aviation Modernization Act' to lift the ban on supersonic flight, conditional on preventing sonic booms from reaching the ground.

"I think aviation has always been seen as a symbol of technological superiority," Scholl said Tuesday during a "Mornings with Maria" appearance. "Just like the chip, the airplane was invented in America, and China wants to surpass America as a leader in technology, so of course, they're pursuing supersonic. It is the next step in aviation."

It is surprisingly kind of anticlimactic. You don't hear a sonic boom from the cockpit because you are leaving the shock waves behind you.
