1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Cleaner, Quieter Airplanes Act . 2. Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) Air travel currently contributes approximately 3 percent to global carbon emissions, but emissions from this sector are expected to triple by 2050. (2) A healthy, thriving aviation sector contributes to the quality of life and economic well-being of the United States. In 2014, the Federal Aviation Administration found that civil aviation accounted for 5.1 percent of the United States gross domestic product, generated $1.6 trillion, and supported 10,600,000 jobs. (3) Existing aircraft technologies contribute to noise pollution that has adverse impacts on the quality of life in affected communities. As air traffic volumes increase and the adoption of performance-based navigation technology proceeds, the problem of noise pollution is becoming more severe in some areas. (4) The United States has adopted a goal of carbon-neutral growth in aviation from 2020. (5) Research on technologies to lessen the environmental and noise impacts of aviation is ongoing, but should accelerate, and should include work on the further maturation and integration of multiple enabling technologies on production aircraft, including novel integrated systems at the aircraft level. 3. National Aeronautics and Space Administration initiative on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and noise emissions from aircraft (a) Initiative required Section 40112 of title 51, United States Code, is amended— (1) by redesignating subsections (b) through (e) as subsections (c) through (f), respectively
