French Planemaker Boosts Revenue And Backlog On Strong Rafale Deliveries

Dassault Aviation reported strong 2025 results, with revenue up to €7.420 billion and a growing backlog of €46.596 billion, driven by higher Rafale and Falcon deliveries. The company forecasts 2026 revenue to rise to around €8.5 billion, based on planned deliveries of 28 Rafale fighters and 40 Falcon business jets. Dassault’s industrial ramp-up efforts, export momentum, and push into sovereign defense and space capabilities are expected to drive growth, as reported by AeroTime.
