French Manufacturer Still Faces Production Bottlenecks Amid Global Demand
Dassault Aviation delivered 26 Rafale fighters in 2025, slightly exceeding its target, but the company’s production pace remains below three aircraft per month. The French manufacturer handed over 15 export and 11 domestic Rafale jets, along with 37 Falcon business jets. Despite production bottlenecks, Dassault raised its 2025 revenue guidance to above €7 billion. The company’s Rafale backlog stands at 220 aircraft, representing roughly 10 years of production at the current rate. This was reported by AeroTime.
