Falcon
7X
Dassault propelled aviation into the twenty-first century
with the Falcon 7X – the first business jet with
a digital flight control system. The 5,950 nm Falcon 7X
has a brand new wing which offers a dramatic increase
in lift-to-drag ratio. The aircraft has an MMO of Mach
0.90, allowing quicker climbs and descents, as well as
low-level dashes on short legs. It is powered by three
Pratt & Whitney Canada 307A engines, rated at 6,400
lb thrust each. The program was the first aircraft ever
jointly certified by the FAA and EASA in April 2007. More
than 100 airplanes have been delivered to date.

Falcon
2000LX
Launched at Ebace in May 2007, the 4,000 nm Falcon 2000LX
offers a 5% additional range over the Falcon 2000EX that
it replaced in 2010. The range improvement was the result
of a joint project between Dassault and Aviation Partners
International (API) for the development and installation
of advanced, high-mach blended winglets. The Falcon 2000LX
features the same Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C engines
and the award winning EASy flight deck. The airplane can
connect Dubai to London, Paris to Delhi and Hong Kong to
Brisbane. It is the most fuel efficient large cabin business
jet on the market. The 2000LX received both EASA and FAA
certification in April 2009. |

900LX
Launched at Ebace in May 2008, the 4,750 nm offers 7% additional
range over the Falcon 900EX. Climb performance is also improved
by 10%, allowing the airplane to reach FL390 in just 20
minutes. The 900LX features 35-40% better efficiency than
other airplanes in its class. It can fly from New York to
Moscow; Paris to Beijing and Mumbai to London. EASA and
FAA Certifications were achieved in July of 2010 with the
first delivery immediately following. |

Falcon
2000S
The Falcon 2000S, announced at EBACE in May 2011, introduced
an entirely new concept of performance, efficiency and value
to the business jet market. The twin-engined, 3,350 nm.
aircraft provides owners with a full size cabin, outstanding
short-field and steep approach performance and the ability
to make long inter-continental flights in comfort. Yet,
its fuel efficiency and operating costs are much less than
that of jets in the next smaller category. Based on the
2000LX, the 2000S features inboard slats, autobrakes and
an all-new BMW Group DesignworksUSA interior, along with
one of the most competitive acquisition costs in its category.
Certification is expected in late 2012. |
