Aircraft Forecasts
Pilot and Technical Outlook 2025

2025 Jul 22

Boeing anticipates industry to require nearly 2.4m new aviation pros through 2044 to meet long-term increase in air travel: 660k pilots, 710k mx techs, 1m cabin crew; 1/3 to support fleet growth and 2/3 as replacements; demand, primarily for single aisle airplanes, driven by EurAsia, China, NorthAm, with fastest 3x in South Asia and SE Asia.

Aircraft Frontiers
Next gen widebody engines

2025 Jul 21

Long haul next gen widebody engines: GE9X EIS 2026 built for power with Thrust 489 kW BPR 10:1 OPR 60:1 planned for B777X, and RR UltraFan EIS 2030s built for efficiency with Thrust 378 kW BPR 15:1 OPR 70:1 planned for next gen A350.

Aircraft Markets
Emissions decay rates

2025 Jul 21

Warming effects: CO2 no decay instead existing CO2 stays same adding future CO2; NOx decays about 2/3 in 50 yrs to below 20% in 100 yrs; Contrails decay about 1/2 in 50 yrs to around 25% in 100 yrs.

Aircraft Markets
Airliner flight cruise

2025 Jul 21

Airliner flight cruise, while air passes plane, air forced downwards by wing to generate aircraft lift, by creating low pressure above wing and high pressure below wing, minimizing wing tip equalizing circulation via longer wingspan or larger winglets, similarly, while climb at high thrust and descent at low thrust; takeoff and landing both at low speed, curving air over wing usually with extended slats and flaps to increase air downwash.

Aircraft Frontiers
New aircraft concepts

2025 Jul 21

Aim to reduce drag, largely by decreasing external surface ‘wet area’ per pax … Airbus A220-500 more pax over increased size and weight drag, Boeing TTWB lower drag by increasing wing span; Boom supersonic needle nose; JetZero BWB reducing wet area per pax by housing area inside thick wing; Boeing hybrid propulsion with less fuel; Airbus hydrogen replacing carbon fuel; Boeing NMA more pax reducing drag per pax; Boeing NLT low cost design, single or dual aisle; Comac C929 competitor A330neo B787; Airbus A35O and B787 re-engine.

Aircraft Markets
Commercial flights per day

2025 Jul 21

Currently, as of 2025 Jul, more than 103,000 commercial flights per day, with global capacity of 126m seats, comprising about 43% international and 67% domestic.

Aircraft Frontiers
Hybrid engine helicopter

2025 Jul 18

Sikorsky developing hybrid-electric propulsion system to increase conventional helicopter range by 30%, by transferring mechanical energy from turboshaft to rotor blades using turbogenerator to power electric prop-rotor motors.

Aircraft Frontiers
Remote digital tower

2025 Jul 18

Warsaw Modlin airport plans digital control tower overseen from ops center located in Warsaw city, tasked with air traffic management at WMI airport, equipped with high-definition day-night cameras and multiateration systems for air traffic surveillance.
