Dassault Aviation has announced the unveiling of its new business jet, the Falcon 10X, during a presentation to more than 400 customers, partners, and aviation executives gathered in a new production hall in Bordeaux-Mérignac.
"The Falcon 10X offers the largest, most comfortable, and most versatile cabin ever imagined for a business jet, redefining what the passenger in-flight experience can be," the aircraft manufacturer stated.
In terms of comfort, the new aircraft features an interior 20 centimeters wider and 5 centimeters taller than its closest competitor, as well as 38 extra-large windows, nearly 50% larger than those of the Falcon 8X.
The Falcon 10X will fly at speeds approaching the sound barrier, with a top speed of Mach 0.925, and will have a range of 13,890 km, enabling routes such as New York to Shanghai, Los Angeles to Sydney, São Paulo to Dubai, or Beijing to Paris.
Its structure combines Dassault Aviation's traditional high-lift devices, flaps and slats, with a next-generation composite architecture that improves aerodynamic efficiency while reducing weight. Furthermore, the Falcon 10X integrates the NeXus cockpit, designed to reduce pilot workload and improve situational awareness, especially during demanding flight phases.
With the roll-out presentation complete, the Falcon 10X program now moves toward flight testing. Following its maiden flight, the aircraft will undergo an extensive evaluation campaign aimed at validating its performance and preparing for its entry into service.
