💨 Abstract

Families affected by the midair collision near Reagan National Airport in January hope for improved aviation safety following the Senate's unanimous passage of the ROTOR Act. This legislation mandates military aircraft and airlines to share their locations using advanced technology, a feature absent during the January crash involving a Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines jetliner. Doug Lane, who lost his wife and son in the incident, highlighted this gap.
