## SEC. 1010 HIGH-SPEED AIRCRAFT PATHWAY TO INTEGRATION STUDY ###
(a)Study ####
(1)In general The Administrator, in consultation with aircraft manufacturers and operators, institutions of higher education (as defined in section 101 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1001)), the Administrator of NASA, the Secretary of Defense, and any other agencies the Administrator determines appropriate, shall conduct a study assessing actions necessary to facilitate the safe operation and integration of high-speed aircraft into the national airspace system. ####
(2)Contents The study conducted under paragraph
(1)shall include, at a minimum— #####
(A)an initial assessment of cross-agency equities related to high-speed aircraft technologies and flight; #####
(B)the identification and collection of data required to develop certification, flight standards, and air traffic requirements for the deployment and integration of high-speed aircraft; #####
(C)the development of a framework and potential timeline to establish the appropriate regulatory requirements for conducting high-speed aircraft flights; #####
(D)strategic plans to improve the FAA’s state of preparedness and response capability in advance of receiving applications to conduct high-speed aircraft flights; and #####
(E)a survey of global high-speed aircraft-related regulatory and testing developments or activities. ####
(3)Considerations In conducting the study under paragraph (1), the Administrator may consider— #####
(A)feedback and input reflecting the technical expertise of the aerospace industry and other stakeholders, as the Administrator determines appropriate, to inform future development of policies, regulations, and standards that enable the safe operation and integration of high-speed aircraft into the national airspace system; #####
(B)opportunities for— ######
(i)demonstrating United States global leadership in high-speed aircraft and related technologies; and ######
(ii)strengthening global harmonization in aeronautics including in the development of international policies relating to the safe operation of high-speed aircraft; and #####
(C)methods and opportunities for community outreach, education, and engagement. ###
(b)Report Not later than 3 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall submit to the covered committees of Congress and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives a report on the results of the study conducted under subsection
(a)and recommendations, if appropriate, to facilitate the safe operation and integration of high-speed aircraft into the national airspace system. ###
(c)Definitions In this section: ####
(1)High-speed aircraft The term “high-speed aircraft” means an aircraft operating at speeds in excess of Mach 1, including supersonic and hypersonic aircraft. ####
(2)Hypersonic The term “hypersonic” means flights operating at speeds that exceed Mach 5. ####
(3)Supersonic The term “supersonic” means flights operating at speeds in excess of Mach 1 but less than Mach 5.
