Dassault Falcon Overview

D

assault Aviation celebrates 60 years of building business jets in 2023, with 2,600 produced aircraft. Today, the company is manufacturing widebody business jets carrying 10-16 passengers over ranges from 4,000 nm to 6,450 nm.

This year, it introduces into service the largest purpose-built business jet, the Falcon 6X, setting a new benchmark in comfort and productivity. The Ultimate Business Jet 7,500 nm Falcon 10X an even larger and more advanced jet will follow in 2025. Both have won design awards for their cabin interior aesthetics and the inventive use of modern design.

Dassault Aviation is the only aerospace company that designs and builds advanced fighters (the famous Rafale series) and business jets. Dassault fighters are known for performance, agility and strength. These qualities--Dassault’s fighter DNA--have consistently been transferred into the Dassault business jets, making them lighter and stronger, improving handling and enhancing safety.

The company has led in other safety technologies, as well. It was the first to introduce a head-up display (HUD) for business aviation, improving situational awareness for pilots. In 2016 it introduced the first combined vision system, merging enhanced and synthetic vision technology so that pilots have a clear view of the outside world in darkness and low visibility.

Dassault technology provides a better passenger experience and safer flight.

For instance, Dassault was the first to introduce fly-by-wire flight controls into business jets. Its digital flight control technology reduces pilot workload, smooths the ride for passengers and makes flying safer by providing “full envelope protection.”
