2025 Pilot Fatigue

A Recap of 2025 for the Indian Aviation Sector: A Bit More Turbulence Than Stability

As 2025 has flown by, it is important to look back at what has happened in the world of aviation in India. This industry has been ruling the roost even when the world was still reeling under COVID-19. The IATA predicted that the world would recover to pre-COVID-19 levels by 2024. Indian domestic aviation rather exceeded pre-pandemic levels in 2023, indicating that the industry has only gone from strength to strength. Though India has one of the fastest-growing aviation industries, it faced turbulence in 2025 due to massive flight disruptions, monetary fluctuations, safety crises and structural holdups. IndiGo’s ascendency in the Indian aviation industry eroded under regulatory pressures, while Air India’s merger struggles and a fatal crash worsened its vulnerability. As a result, passengers were stranded, passenger trust declined greatly and government interventions were necessary to control the soaring operational costs.

Hypersonic Engine Supersonic Engine

The Rise of Jet Engines and Supersonic Flight

  The evolution from piston engines to jet propulsion marks a notable moment in the history of aviation, significantly reducing travel times. By the late 1930s, the masters understood that propeller-driven aircraft were approaching a physical "ceiling." As the tips of the propeller approached the speed of sound, they encountered considerable drag and lost the ability to produce thrust effectively. As a result, aviation innovators such as Sir Frank Whittle in the UK and Hans von Ohain in Germany are credited with the development of the gas turbine engine. The process of a jet engine is on the basis of the principle of "suck, squeeze, bang, blow, drawing in air, compressing, mixing it with fuel for ignition and then burning it at high velocities. This led to the first jet-powered flight of the Heinkel He 178 in the year 1939.
