Airbus Delivers 306 Aircraft in First Half of 2025

Global – Airbus has reported strong first-half (H1) 2025 results, highlighting solid commercial and financial performance despite persistent supply chain constraints. The company delivered 306 commercial aircraft, generated €29.6 billion in revenue, and confirmed its guidance for full-year 2025, targeting 820 deliveries and €7 billion in EBIT Adjusted.

  • 306 aircraft delivered in H1 2025:

    • 41 A220

    • 232 A320 Family

    • 12 A330

    • 21 A350

  • 494 gross orders and 402 net commercial aircraft orders placed in H1, raising the order backlog to 8,754 aircraft.

  • Revenue increased 3% year-on-year to €29.6 billion, though commercial aircraft revenue dipped 2% due to fewer deliveries.

  • EBIT Adjusted rose to €2.2 billion, up from €1.4 billion in H1 2024.

  • Net income reached €1.5 billion with reported earnings per share of €1.93, up from €1.04 a year prior.

Training Aircraft Manufacturer Bye Aerospace Advances Prototype and Highlights Orderbook in 2025

United States – Bye Aerospace continues to advance its eFlyer electric aircraft programme, with a clear strategic focus on the two-seat eFlyer 2 and the four-seat eFlyer 4 models—setting aside earlier plans for the larger nine-seat eFlyer 800.

  • At EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025, Bye displayed a non‑flying full‑scale mockup of the eFlyer 2, built using production tools but not flight‑compliant components.

  • The company aims to fly a largely production‑conforming prototype within 9–12 months, followed by FAA Part 23 certification approximately 24 months later.

  • Bye Aerospace holds roughly 1,024 orders valued at over USD 700 million, with around half backed by non‑refundable deposits and the remainder by letters of intent.

  • The eFlyer 2 is powered by a 100 kW Safran EngineUs 100 B‑1 motor with pending FAA validation, paired with Garmin G500 TXi avionics. It features spin‑resistant aerodynamics and includes a whole‑aircraft parachute for added safety.

  • Estimated performance: top speed ~135 kt; climb rate ~1,000 fpm; endurance ~3 hrs; range ~220–250 nm; max takeoff weight ~2,450 lb.

  • Serial #00001 prototype parts—including the composite wing spar—are already under production in Denver, with full assembly underway. Partner firms such as Elevation Aero, Toray, Siemens, and M4 Engineering support composite build‑out.

Too Quiet to Track: H55 Redefines Noise Standards at Major U.S. Airport

Switzerland & USA – H55’s electric aircraft flies so quiet, that during a noise measurement test, the Bristell B23 Energic powered by H55 propulsion system was so quiet that the electric aircraft flew without triggering three of six official noise-monitoring sensors.

On 11 July 2025, the B23 Energic flew identical flight paths alongside a comparable piston-engine across the airport’s six official noise-monitoring stations:

  • 3 of 6 sensors recorded no aircraft noise—the B23 flew below ambient sound thresholds (60 dB)
  • The remaining sensors registered the B23 Energic at 1/10th of intensity of the noise measured in comparison to the piston aircraft

“Electric aviation isn’t the future—it’s here,” said Michael Fronapfel, CEO of Centennial Airport. “The B23 Energic offers noise levels so low, they’re almost too quiet to track. This has real-world implications for airport communities. It’s a level of performance we’ve never seen before in general aviation.”

A Breakthrough You Can’t Hear — But Communities Will Appreciate

“Across multiple flights, the B23 Energic consistently came in 30 times quieter than similar aircraft during cruise,” said Zach Gabehart, Centennial Airport’s Noise & Environmental Specialist. “If this keeps up, I might be out of a job.”

Electric propulsion isn’t just fuel-free—it’s neighbor-friendly, regulator-approved, and airport-operatorloved. With the B23 Energic, airports and flight schools can now enjoy:

  • Longer training hours—say goodbye to neighbor noise complaints
  • Lower environmental impact—no emissions, no exhaust
  • Quieter skies—better community relations
  • Future-proof compliance—ready for tomorrow’s regulations today

Certified Technology, Real-World Benefits

“This test proves that electric aviation delivers not just environmental benefits, but tangible advantages for the communities around airports,” said Martin Larose, CEO of H55. “We’re proud to offer a certified propulsion system that helps make aviation more affordable, more sustainable, and more silent.”

The Hamptons: Experience the Silence Yourself, August 4–10 2025

The B23 Energic is currently making its way to one of the most noise-sensitive regions in the U.S.— the Hamptons.

As part of its Across America tour, H55 will host demo flights, technology showcases, and stakeholder briefings in East and West Hampton from August 4–10, inviting the public and the aviation community to witness the future of clean flight.

Schedule of Appearances:

  • Francis S. Gabreski Airport (KFOK): August 6–7
  • East Hampton Town Airport (KJPX): August 4–5 & 8–10
