The bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration, consulting with NASA and other relevant groups, to study whether large U.S. airports can accommodate aircraft flying faster than Mach 1. The study must examine runways, ground equipment, air traffic control, environmental rules, and possible economic benefits and challenges. Within one year of enactment, the agency must report its findings, recommendations, estimated improvement costs, and timelines to House committees.
The bill calls for a study and report. It does not itself require airports to make changes or allow high-speed aircraft to operate.
The bill does not provide funding amounts. It requires the report to estimate costs for possible airport improvements.
