“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,” concluded Trappier.
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.
NEW WING, NEW MATERIAL
The flight deck won’t be the only part of the Falcon 10X to benefit from cross-over technology. In another first on a Falcon, the high-speed wing will be made from carbon fiber composites, just as they are on their big brother fighter jets. The benefits: 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 that provide superior maneuverability at low approach speeds. A composite wing also brings other benefits, including
superior fatigue properties, better corrosion resistance and flex to dampen turbulence and provide the ultimate in passenger comfort.
Falcons are famous for their agility, and even though this is the largest Falcon ever, it has retained its renowned performance characteristics. The new wing allows the Falcon 10X to sip fuel at Mach 0.85 for its full 7,500 nautical mile range or make quick dashes with full payload at Mach 0.925, all while requiring a landing distance of only 2,500 feet. And incredibly, it will also be steep approach capable allowing customers to land at challenging airports like London City.
“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,” concluded Trappier.
The Falcon 10X is expected to enter service at the end of 2025. 20 - 21
