Before air travel was possible, a property’s [...] rights were considered unlimited, extending upward into the farthest reaches of outer space. Now that air travel is common, however, the federal government, through laws, regulations, and court decisions, has put limits on [...] rights. Today, reasonable interference with these rights is permitted, such as that necessary for aircraft (and presumably spacecraft), as long as the owner’s right to use and occupy the land is not unduly lessened. Government and airport authorities often purchase adjacent [...] rights to provide approach patterns for air traffic.

With the continuing development of solar power, [...] rights—and, more specifically, light or solar rights—are being closely examined by the courts. A new highrise building that blocks sunlight from a smaller existing building may be found to be interfering with the smaller building’s right to sunlight, particularly if systems in the smaller building are solar powered. [...] and solar rights are regulated by state and local laws and regulations.
