“We have set the bar for our new Falcon incredibly high, but I can confidently say that we have put this aircraft at the top of the market,” said Eric Trappier, Dassault Aviation Chairman and CEO on May 6, 2021 during the announcement.
Trappier explained the genesis behind Dassault’s newest aircraft. “Our customers were the main driver behind this aircraft, asking for more range and greater comfort.” The Dassault answer to this customer feedback is an innovative approach to cabin design using a new, modular concept and a continuing integration of fighter jet technology for which the company is famous.
“The Falcon 10X will offer an unrivalled passenger experience, 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,” said Trappier.
PENTHOUSE IN THE SKY
Longer ranges mean more time in the aircraft cabin, and Dassault engineers and designers labored over the possible solutions to making that time as comfortable and productive as possible.
“Customers are looking for continuity and a seamless experience. You need to be able to work, dine and rest in the aircraft the same way that you do on the ground. So, we created a penthouse in the sky,” said Agnes Gervais, head of industrial design, whose team took the lead on creating the bespoke cabin experience in the new Falcon.
The Falcon 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 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 (2.77 m) wide. That will make it almost 8 inches (20 cm) wider and 2 inches (5 cm) taller than any competitor’s aircraft.
Pressurization will also be among the best on the market, with passengers experiencing a 3,000-foot cabin pressure 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. It is the scrutinizing attention to these physiological factors that will ensure passengers arrive comfortable and productive after any length of journey.
