FALCON 6X SPREADS ITS WINGS


Dassault Aviation’s widebody Falcon 6X now has three aircraft participating in the flight test campaign and the innovative aircraft has picked up another prestigious design award along the way.


“We are very pleased with the progress of the Falcon 6X test program and remain confident that it will meet and exceed our customers’ needs,” said Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation. “Each aircraft is performing as expected and showing a high level of systems maturity for this phase of the program.”


Recently, the third Falcon 6X joined the flight test campaign. Outfitted with the Falcon 6X’s award-winning interior, including in-flight entertainment and communications systems, the aircraft will be used to evaluate environmental features and temperature control systems. It will also be used to validate cabin acoustic systems, which alongside those on the ultra-long range Falcon 8X trijet and Falcon 10X, are expected to be the industry reference.


Trappier continued, “Several of our test pilots have flown the Falcon 6X. All are extremely satisfied with its performance and handling characteristics.”
