Two barrel plugs were added to the 7X fuselage, which allowed Dassault to incorporate two additional windows on each side and increase the length and volume of the cabin by 3.6 feet and 143 cubic feet, respectively.

New blended Winglets, a new and lighter internal wing architecture, and other structural modifications achieved three more goals: a reduction in drag, a smoother ride, and a substantial increase in fuel efficiency. Engineers also reinforced the landing gear to allow a heavier payload.


EXTRAORDINARY VALUE… UNCOMPROMISING PERFORMANCE


The result of these and other innovations was an aircraft demonstrably better than even its popular forerunner and deserving of the moniker ‘flagship.’ By any measure, the Falcon 8X’s features and performance—and therefore the value it represents—is extraordinary.

Complete broadband connectivity throughout the aircraft provides a virtual extension of home or office to round out the distinctive Falcon cabin experience.


The 8X’s range of 6,450 nautical miles is the most capable of any Falcon, allowing it to fly nonstop from Beijing to New York, Hong
