The United States is accelerating efforts to bring a new generation of aircraft into commercial service, including electric air taxis and supersonic passenger jets, as regulators work alongside manufacturers to modernize aviation rules and certification processes.

Recent conflicts in Europe and the Middle East have renewed interest in advanced aviation capabilities, while competition among the United States, China, and Europe has expanded beyond semiconductors and artificial intelligence into aerospace and space technologies.
