PREAMBLE
I am proud to present the latest edition of Falconer. This is an exciting time in our company’s history and this issue marks a number of milestones. But first I want to acknowledge the untimely passing of Olivier Dassault earlier this year. Olivier was a true champion of the Falcon legacy. As a type-rated pilot himself, he was passionate about aviation and developing the unique and highly-respected Falcon brand. Without his support, and that of the Dassault family, many of these milestones would not be possible.
In a major milestone for the brand, and the industry, Dassault has launched the 7,500 nm Falcon 10X – an aircraft
at the top of the ultra-long range category offering an unmatched level of technology, sophistication and comfort. Boasting the largest cabin in the industry, it has created a new standard that customers are sure to appreciate. You can read all the details in “Bigger. Faster. Farther.”
As you’ll read in ”6X Spreads Its Wings”, the Falcon 6X program is surging forward, with its first flight taking place earlier this spring, and several more test aircraft joining the certification campaign. We are on track for entry into service of this ground-breaking aircraft in 2022.
We’re pleased to feature Avfuel in this issue’s customer profile, “Fuel For Thought”. A family-owned company that has utilized business aviation for decades, Avfuel’s President & CEO, Craig Sincock, says they are in the business of connecting people and cultures.
In “Head of the Class” you’ll read about another landmark achievement (our third year in a row taking the #1 place in a major product support survey) along with major investments to our customer service organization. You will also meet a man who has been making notable achievements throughout his entire life in “Legend Status,” featuring Brigadier General Charles McGee.
Finally, in “Perspectives” we speak with Geoff Chick, who has overseen the unprecedented expansion of our worldwide service network, and we see how the Falcon family of aircraft can connect passions and places people enjoy on both coasts of the United States, in “Stopover”.
Welcome aboard!
Eric Trappier Chairman & CEO Dassault Aviation
