That section of the Act, Title VII of the science division, included the full text of Rep. Don Beyer\u2019s Cleaner, Quieter Airplanes Act. Beyer chairs the House Science Committee\u2019s Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics; he introduced the Cleaner, Quieter Airplanes Act to bolster NASA\u2019s efforts to create the next generation of climate-friendly aviation while also reducing the impact of airplane noise in airport-adjacent communities.\n\n\u201cClimate change and aircraft noise have always been two of the most consistent constituent concerns in my district. I wrote a bill to address both problems \u2013 the Cleaner, Quieter Airplanes Act \u2013 which President Biden just signed into law,\u201d said Beyer. \u201cAs the climate crisis continues to harm American communities, ensuring we are also tackling aviation emissions is vital. This piece of legislation does just that by making the necessary investments to develop the technology to make cleaner flight a reality in addition to driving innovation that would reduce aircraft noise pollution.\u201d\n\nThis legislation sets a goal for cleaner, quieter airplanes, accelerating NASA\u2019s aeronautics work on reducing greenhouse gas and noise emissions. Specifically, this bill:\n\nEstablishes the ambitious goal of commercial airplanes emitting 50 percent less greenhouse gas compared to the highest performing aircraft in 2021 as well as being net-zero by 2050.\n\nChallenges NASA to work with industry partners to carry out flight tests by 2025 that will enable industry to bring a new generation of more sustainable airplanes into service between 2030 and 2040.\n\nAuthorizes NASA to accelerate its work on electrified propulsion systems and the integration of multiple technologies and airframe concepts to achieve noise and emissions reductions.\n\nRequires NASA to provide data and insight on new technologies to help the FAA\u2019s work to ensure the safe and effective deployment of these technologies.\n\nText of the Cleaner, Quieter Airplanes Act is available here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:59:24Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://beyer.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=5669"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8601730223745108, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
