Will Offer Safety Features Derived From Latest Fighter Technology

Dassault Aviation has announced an all-new Falcon jet. Featuring a range of 7,500 nautical miles, the Falcon 10X will fly nonstop from New York to Shanghai, Los Angeles to Sydney, Hong Kong to New York or Paris to Santiago. Top speed will be Mach 0.925.

“Today we are introducing a new benchmark in business aviation,” said Dassault Chairman and CEO Eric Trappier. “The Falcon 10X will offer an unrivalled passenger experience over both short- and long-duration flights, along with breakthrough safety features from Dassault’s frontline fighter technology. We have optimized every aspect of the aircraft with the passenger in mind and established a new level of capability for ultra-long-range aircraft.”

The Falcon 10X will enter service at the end of 2025.

The 10X is large enough to accommodate four cabin zones of equal length but owners can configure their cabin to create a customized interior, including an expanded dining/conference area, a dedicated entertainment area with a large-screen monitor, a private stateroom with a queen-size bed or an enlarged master suite with a private stand-up shower.
  
“The 10X will be more than just another big step forward in business aviation. It will be absolutely the best business jet available in the ultra-long-range category, and will remain so for a long time,” said Trappier.

The 10X will have a cabin cross section larger than some regional jets. Its cabin will be 6-feet, 8-inches tall and 9 feet, 1 inch wide. Pressurization will allow passengers to experience a 3,000-foot cabin pressure altitude while flying at 41,000 feet. A filtration system will provide 100-percent pure air. The aircraft will be at least as quiet as the Falcon 8X.

The 10X will feature an entirely new fuselage with extra-large windows—nearly 50 percent larger than those on the Falcon 8X. Thirty-eight windows will line the fuselage making for the brightest cabin in business aviation.

The high-speed wing will be made of carbon fiber composite and will be equipped with advanced, retractable high-lift devices offering good maneuverability at low approach speeds. The twin-engine aircraft will be powered by the in-development Rolls Royce Pearl 10X. The 10X is the latest, largest and most powerful version of the Pearl series, delivering more than 18,000 pounds of thrust.

The Falcon 10X’s flight deck will offer touch screens throughout the cockpit. A next-generation Digital Flight Control System is derived directly from Dassault’s latest military technology, and will incorporate a new single-button recovery mode.

A single smart throttle will serve as the primary power control, connecting both engines to the Digital Flight Control System which will automatically manage the power of each engine.

The FalconEye combined vision system which offers both enhanced and synthetic vision capabilities—combined with dual HUDs able to serve as primary flight displays makes the 10X capable of operating in essentially zero ceiling/visibility conditions.

“We have set the bar for our new Falcon incredibly high,” said Trappier. “But I can confidently say that we have put this aircraft at the top of the market.”
