French aerospace manufacturer Dassault Aviation has published its 2025 annual report, showing a significant increase in orders for both its Rafale fighter jets and Falcon business jets. The company highlighted a strong performance in military aircraft sales and a healthy growth in the civil aviation sector compared to the previous year.
The report indicates that 26 Rafale aircraft were sold to the Indian Navy, with a total of 26 aircraft delivered to customers worldwide, exceeding the target of 25 for the year. The company's order book for military aircraft stands at 220 Rafale jets. In the civil aviation segment, Dassault Aviation secured 31 orders for its Falcon business jets, up from 26 in 2024, and delivered 37 aircraft.
Dassault Aviation has made substantial investments to scale up its production capabilities. These include the construction of a new factory in Cergy, expanded facilities in Istres and Martignas, and a major Falcon maintenance center in Florida. These expansions are aimed at meeting the growing demand and supporting new programs such as the Falcon 10X.
The company is also advancing its digital transformation strategy, focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) integration through strategic partnerships with entities like Thales and the startup Harmattan. Looking ahead to 2026, Dassault Aviation plans to continue its investments in India under the 'Make in India' policy and will commence flight testing for the new Falcon 10X, the largest business jet in its range. Development work on the Rafale's F4 and F5 standards, as well as combat drones and future combat aircraft, is also ongoing.
