A review of the major events in 2025 for the rotorcraft industry.

Lunar missions, electric air taxis, advanced tiltrotors, autonomous combat aircraft and safety-critical artificial intelligence are things to look out for.

Boeing has delivered almost 540 aircraft by the end of November; there is still an outside possibility it can hit almost 650 deliveries by the end of the year.

As of the end of November, Airbus had delivered nearly 660 aircraft; to get to its new target, the European airframer needs to deliver around 130 aircraft.

Joby Aviation plans to double its U.S. manufacturing capacity to support production of up to four aircraft per month by 2027.

In this special anniversary episode of Check 6 Revisits, Pratt & Whitney President Shane Eddy and Aviation Week editors Guy Norris and Christine Boynton delve into the engine-maker’s achievements over its first century.

Energy-saving formation flying; airports as hydrogen hubs; electric trainer advances; urban eVTOL test flights.

Gas turbines still dominate Pratt & Whitney’s future road map, but emerging new cycles and alternative fuels will also play a major role.
