Aviation engagement report
@xAviation - 934K followers on X
Measured over 39 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 20, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 2.0K interactions against 934K followers, an engagement rate of 0.216%. Measured over 39 original posts, its engagement rate beats 82% of 1,003 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 105K times each, and 1.92% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 11.2% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 47% of days. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 39 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 7.0K interactions, about 3.5x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Aviation's engagement rate beats 82% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 5 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 66% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

At 0.216%, Aviation sits above the 50th percentile of the 11,167 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.05% to 0.335%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 01:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +79% | +73% to +85% | 5.8K |
| Outbound link | 0% of posts | -49% | -50% to -47% | 6.1K |
| Typical length | - | -7% | -8% to -5% | 9.0K |
- 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 79% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 0% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 49% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 123 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 7% below the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

In 1968, a sikorsky ch-53a sea stallion took on something far beyond its size: towing the 17,000-ton uss austin (Ipd-4). The test was conducted by sikorsky to demonstrate a new idea: that heavy-lift helicopters could assist disabled warships, reposition vessels in confined waters, or provide emergency maneuvering without tugboats.

- What is Aviation's engagement rate on X?
- Aviation (@xAviation) has an engagement rate of 0.216%, based on the median interactions across 39 original posts from the last 30 days against 934,016 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.216%, Aviation sits above the 50th percentile of the 11,167 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @xAviation have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 82% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 accounts), which puts it in the top quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @xAviation post?
- Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.3 posts per day across the measured window.
