Seattle, January 18 - Boeing has released its official 2025 delivery figures for key defense programs, highlighting sustained production across rotary-wing and fixed-wing platforms amid strong demand from U.S. and international customers. The company's Defense, Space & Security segment delivered a total of 131 units throughout the year, with significant contributions from attack and transport helicopters as well as advanced fighter and maritime patrol aircraft. These results reflect Boeing's ongoing commitment to supporting military readiness through reliable platforms like the AH-64 Apache, CH-47 Chinook, F-15, F/A-18 Super Hornet, and P-8 Poseidon.
In the rotorcraft category, the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter led deliveries with 19 new-build units and 42 remanufactured examples, totaling 61 aircraft. This robust output underscores the enduring role of the Apache as a premier attack platform for close air support and reconnaissance missions. The CH-47 Chinook heavy-lift transport helicopter followed with 3 new-build and 11 renewed airframes, for a combined total of 14 units, ensuring continued heavy-lift capabilities for troop and cargo transport in diverse operational environments.
Fixed-wing combat aircraft saw measured deliveries, including 9 F-15 multirole fighters and 14 F/A-18 Super Hornet naval strike fighters. These platforms remain vital for air superiority and carrier-based operations, with the F-15EX variant supporting advanced multirole missions and the Super Hornet providing carrier strike group flexibility. Complementing these fighters, Boeing handed over 6 P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, bolstering anti-submarine warfare, surveillance, and reconnaissance for naval forces worldwide.
Overall, these 2025 Boeing delivery figures demonstrate stable progress in defense production, driven primarily by U.S. armed forces requirements, while positioning the company for future growth in international markets. The results affirm Boeing's position as a leading supplier of critical military aviation systems, including Apache attack helicopters, Chinook transport helicopters, F-15 fighters, F/A-18 Super Hornets, and Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft.
