In this age of a global economy, in which flights often stretch across multiple continents, passenger comfort has become a key element of business jet travel. And this was an element uppermost in the minds of Dassault engineers and designers as they moved to improve on the cabin of the venerable Falcon 900LX, a long range trijet designed to connect city pairs such as New York to Buenos Aires or Paris to Beijing.


The flat-floor cabin is spacious – 33 feet long from the cockpit bulkhead to the aft baggage compartment bulkhead, 94 inches wide, and 74 inches high. To put it in another way, the interior features 207 square feet of floor space. In an effort to optimize open space, the 900LX also offers a generous amount of storage, including a spacious, side-facing credenza in the aft section of the main cabin compartment.


The lids of the side ledges next to the seats lift up easily to accommodate a variety of items. The side ledges also include a personal electronic device charging station.


An additional storage compartment is incorporated into the optional aft cabin divider providing the customer with even greater flexibility. Additionally, ample storage is provided in the armrests of the side-facing divans and in the lavatory vanity.


“Anytime you maximize the real estate, you’ve done something good,” said Victor Ocampo, manager of aircraft completion specifications.


To further improve passenger comfort, Dassault engineers took particular care to reduce cabin noise, drawing from new technology installed in the recently introduced Falcon 8X. “We overachieved on our first aircraft,” he said with a satisfied smile.”


Cabin comfort also extends to the fresh air circulation system which provides a mixture of on-demand cool and warm air. A turbofan supplies circulation through the exchangers when the aircraft is on the ground or flying at low speeds. The bottom line is that fresh air in the cabin is by far better than the one in your office or your home.
