The American aerospace giant released its 2025 aircraft delivery statistics, providing insights into the production rates of attack and transport helicopters, fighters, aerial refueling tankers, and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft.
Boeing delivered a total of 127 military aircraft last year, including both new-build airframes and remanufactured units. Of this total, 60 were newly built aircraft. The report also mentions four commercial and civil satellites, which may include undisclosed military applications.

Rotary-Wing Aircraft The AH-64 Apache attack helicopter remains the most numerous platform in the delivery schedule, with 61 units transferred (19 new-build and 42 remanufactured). For comparison, 2024 figures stood at 50 units (16 new and 34 remanufactured). Although not explicitly stated, these figures likely refer to the latest AH-64E Apache Guardian configuration.
Deliveries of CH-47 Chinook transport helicopters totaled 14 units, including only 3 new-build airframes. This follows the 2024 trend, where Boeing delivered 13 units (4 new).
However, this figure is expected to rise in the coming years following recent orders from Japan and Germany, as well as expressed interest from Belgium.
Fixed-Wing and Combat Aircraft Fighter deliveries saw a decrease: Boeing handed over 9 F-15 aircraft in 2025, compared to 14 in 2024. This figure likely encompasses both the F-15EX Eagle II for the U.S. Air Force and the F-15QA variant for Qatar.
In the carrier-based aviation segment, Boeing delivered 14 F/A-18 Super Hornets, up from 11 in 2024. While the majority of these airframes were destined for the U.S. Navy, Kuwait is also awaiting its remaining order.
Despite ongoing program challenges and over $7 billion in losses, KC-46 Pegasus tanker deliveries remained steady. Boeing delivered 14 tankers in 2025, compared to 13 the previous year.
The P-8 Poseidon ASW aircraft program showed positive momentum, with 6 units delivered last year, up from 4 in 2024. Facing no direct competitors in its class, the Poseidon remains the primary maritime patrol option for NATO allies, including Denmark.
Finally, Boeing delivered 9 MH-139 Grey Wolf helicopters in 2025 (up from 6 in 2024). These aircraft are being procured to replace the aging UH-1N Huey for search and rescue (SAR) operations, VIP transport, and patrolling ICBM fields.
The T-7A Red Hawk Status The T-7A Red Hawk trainer aircraft was absent from the 2025 report, despite two units being delivered in 2024. The program has faced significant delays; however, the first official delivery to the U.S. Air Education and Training Command (AETC) occurred in early 2026.
Summary These statistics provide a comprehensive overview of Boeing's annual production capacity. While these deliveries represent orders placed years in advance, they serve as a benchmark for the company's current output.
A crucial factor to consider is that this is a preliminary report; the data remains subject to revision prior to the release of the final quarterly report. However, as 2024 figures remained consistent, we anticipate a similar trend for the current year.
