DASSAULT FALCON 10X

French manufacturer Dassault hopes its Falcon 10X will rede fi ne the large-cabin, ultra-long-haul private jet segment, bridging the gap between purpose-built private jets and VIP airliners, which are aircraft converted from commercial airline usage for private fl ying. Business Jet Traveler writes: “The largest Falcon built to date will challenge intercontinental rivals like the Bombardier Global 7500 and the Gulfstream G700… when it enters service in 2025.” Business Insider was even more forceful. “Dassault’s new $75m private jet with the largest cabin of its class is primed to blow Gulfstream and Bombardier’s fl agship jets out of the water,” blared its headline. The Falcon 10X will have the biggest cabin of purpose-built private jets. Its cabin will be 6-ft, 8-in high, and 9-ft, 1-in wide. Dassault claims the 10X is almost 8-in wider and 2-in taller than its closest competitors. The cabin will also be brighter. The 10X comes with windows nearly 50% larger than the Falcon 8X. Its 38 windows will make it the “brightest cabin in business aviation,” according to Dassault. In terms of speed and range, the new jet will have a top speed of Mach 0.925 and fl y 7,500 nautical miles nonstop. That will allow owners to fl y nonstop from New York to Shanghai or Los Angeles to Sydney. From $75m, dassault-aviation.com
