... On Friday, President Trump signed an executive order telling the FAA to lift its 52-year ban on supersonic flight over the US and told the FAA to devise a scheme to limit noise pollution from such aircraft.

Supersonic flight has been banned over the US for civilian aircraft since 1973 after testing showed the noise it created was too disruptive, breaking windows in some cases. Since then, NASA and private startups have developed ways to reduce the sound of sonic booms from faster-than-Mach 1 flight, and there's currently legislation before Congress to allow these high-tech aircraft to fly over the US, potentially halving the flight time between New York and Los Angeles.

Now the president has issued an order that does basically what the legislation, sponsored by four Republican senators, asked for.

The FAA has also been instructed to devise a system to regulate such aircraft's noise levels in conjunction with "community acceptability, economic reasonableness, and technological feasibility," to allow flights over the homeland. ...

My guess would be that the FAA will optimize unfettered "economic reasonableness" over any "community acceptability" concerns.

a.k.a., optimizing profits for the wealthy, while making more noise for everyone else.

My question would be, over which areas around the airports might the FAA send these booming flights?

High-income areas?

@#9 ... YYZ, but who cares? ...

YYZ is Toronto's airport code.

My concern is more with JFK, LGA and EWR, i.e., the main NYC airports.
