YES if: The FAA has officially modified or repealed regulations (such as 14 CFR § 91.817) that currently prohibit civilian supersonic flight over U.S. land due to sonic boom concerns, and there is no replacement; so that, simply traveling fast is no longer illegal, or, similar changes to this same effect.

Official Sources for Resolution

  • FAA official announcements and regulatory filings.

  • Federal Register updates on aviation rule changes.

  • Congressional records or executive orders explicitly modifying the ban.

  • Major, credible news organizations reporting on a verifiable regulatory shift.

Clarifications

  • A partial repeal counts as a YES if it meaningfully allows routine supersonic flight over U.S. land beyond strictly experimental cases.

  • If there is any uncertainty, the resolution authority (market moderators) will interpret the outcome based on a reasonable understanding of the new rules’ practical impact.
