The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is a U.S. federal government agency responsible for regulating civil aviation in the United States and surrounding international waters. With powers including air traffic control, certification of personnel and aircraft, and protection of U.S. assets during space vehicle launches, the FAA plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of the nation's aviation system. Founded in 1958, the FAA has evolved to address the changing needs of the aviation industry, from commercial airlines like [[american-airlines|American Airlines]] to private aircraft manufacturers like [[boeing|Boeing]].
