The new long-haul business aircraft will allow you to fly
from Sao Paulo to Dubai nonstop.
Dassault Aviation today announced an all-new Falcon jet that
will deliver a level of comfort, versatility and technology unmatched by any
purpose-built business 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.
Taking cabin modularity to unprecedented heights
The 10X will have the biggest and most comfortable cabin on
the market and offer greater modularity than any other aircraft in its class,
with a selection of multiple interior configurations. The 10X is large enough
to accommodate four cabin zones of equal length but owners can configure their
cabin to create a truly customized interior, including for example, 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 (2.03 m) tall and 9 feet, 1 inch wide (2.77 m). That will make it
almost 8 inches (20 cm) wider and 2 inches (5 cm) taller than the widest and
tallest purpose-built business jet flying today.

Pressurization will also be the best on the market, with
passengers experiencing a 3,000-foot cabin pressure altitude while flying at
41,000 feet. A next-generation filtration system will provide 100-percent pure
air. The aircraft will be at least as quiet as the Falcon 8X, currently the
quietest business jet in service.
New structures, new materials, ultra-efficient power
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 composites
for maximum strength, reduced weight and minimum drag. Tailored for speed and
efficiency, the very-high aspect ratio wing will be equipped with advanced,
retractable high-lift devices offering superior maneuverability at low approach
speeds.
The twin-engine aircraft will be powered by business
aviation’s most advanced and efficient engine, 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.
A major advance in flight deck technology
The Falcon 10X’s flight deck will set a new standard in
intuitive design, with touch screens throughout the cockpit. A next-generation
Digital Flight Control System, derived directly from Dassault’s latest military
technology, will provide an unprecedented level of flying precision and
protection, including a revolutionary, 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 as needed in different
flight scenarios.
Thanks to Dassault’s breakthrough FalconEye® combined vision
system—the first to offer both enhanced and synthetic vision
capabilities—combined with dual HUDs able to serve as primary flight displays,
the 10X will be 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.”
