DASSAULT AVIATION FALCON 6X

LAND AT AIRPORTS USUALLY INACESSIBL­E TO LARGE BUSINESS JETS

-

The new Falcon 6X integrates the best features from Dassault Aviation’s world-leading business and fighter aircraft expertise to create the longestran­ge jet in its class with unparallel­ed passenger comfort, maximum mission flexibilit­y and the most advanced cockpit technologi­es.

The new Falcon 6X is the most spacious, with more room to work and relax, providing six feet six inches of head room, eight feet, six inches of width and 40 feet, four inches of length. An advanced and versatile twinjet in the long- range business jet segment, Dassault Aviation’s in- house Design Studio restyled the cabin interior with extra- large windows ( 30 of them) to brighten the cabin naturally and provide unpreceden­ted views with a total of nearly 5,000 square inches and the highest percentage of window area in its class. It also features an industry- first skylight that provides additional natural light in the galley area.

The Falcon 6X will fly a maximum range of 5,500 nm (10,186 km) at Mach .80 or 5,100 nm / 9,445 km at Mach .85, with short-field takeoff and landing capability typical of the Falcon line. As a result, it can fly almost anywhere in the world and land at restricted or challengin­g airports typically inaccessib­le to large business jets. It is also able to land with much more fuel, which enables operators to make a short hop to an interim airport, pick up passengers, and then continue to an overseas destinatio­n without having to refuel. Washington to New York, then onto London or Geneva, for example. The cockpit of the new Falcon 6X is more spacious with larger windows and the next generation of streamline­d flight technologi­es. Test flights are expected to start in early 2021 with entry into service the following year. dassault. fr
