In the elite world of business aviation, where speed, range, and luxury intertwine, Dassault Aviation has once again raised the bar with the Falcon 6X — the first true extra-wide body business jet. Combining French elegance with cuttingedge aerospace engineering, the 6X delivers a travel experience designed to satisfy the most discerning global traveler.

Passenger- and pilot-centric, the Falcon 6X reflects the next step in Dassault’s legendary aircraft heritage. The Falcon 6X integrates the best features from Dassault Aviation’s world-leading business aircraft expertise to create the longest-range jet in its class with unparalleled passenger comfort, maximum mission flexibility, and the most advanced cockpit technologies available. The Falcon 6X is the most spacious, advanced, and versatile twinjet in the long-range business jet segment.

Dassault Aviation’s Falcon 6X entered service on November 30, 2023. Type certification was granted prior to that by both EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) and the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration). In May 2024, the Falcon 6X made its EBACE debut after entering service in November, showcasing its next-gen digital flight control system for ultraprecise handling and advanced turbulence damping. Despite its class-leading, wider, and taller cabin, the 6X can operate from short, challenging runways like the 3,400-foot strip at Saanen-Gstaad, Switzerland.

A CLASS OF ITS OWN

Introduced as a new benchmark for business jets, the Falcon 6X features the tallest and widest cabin in business aviation today. With a range of 5,500 nautical miles (10,186 km) and a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.90, it effortlessly connects major business hubs such as London to Hong Kong, New York to Moscow, or Paris to Los Angeles.

Built for versatility, the 6X can accommodate between 12 to 16 passengers, depending on configuration. It boasts a maximum certified altitude of 51,000 ft and an impressive shortfield capability, with a takeoff distance of just 5,115 ft (1,560 m), making it ideal for accessing airports closer to city centers and remote destinations alike.

The Falcon 6X represents a new chapter in business aviation — one where space, technology, and health-conscious design coalesce to redefine long-range travel. For executives, entrepreneurs, and government officials seeking a flexible, connected, and supremely comfortable aircraft, the 6X makes a compelling case.

As the business jet market evolves to prioritise not just range and speed but also wellness, sustainability, and digital integration, Dassault’s Falcon 6X stands tall — and wide — as a class apart.

AERONAUTICAL PROWESS MEETS LUXURY

At 78 inches (1.98 m) in height and 102 inches (2.58 m) in width, the cabin space feels more like a high-end lounge than a business jet interior. With a cabin length of 40.3 ft (12.30 m) and a total volume of 1,843 cubic feet (52.20 m³), it offers an unprecedented sense of space.

Thirty extra-large windows and a unique skylight flood the cabin with natural light, offering panoramic views from cruising altitude and contributing to passenger well-being. Customisable mood lighting helps travelers manage their circadian rhythm and ease the effects of time zone transitions. Dassault also introduced an optional Privacy Suite, a versatile space that doubles as a private meeting area by day and a restful sleeping zone by night. Coupled with berthable seats and an adjustable divider, it ensures privacy and comfort at 51,000 feet.

CABIN SPACE & AMENITIES

More room to work or relax. Pure comfort for passengers.

The largest cabin – 6 feet 6 inches of headroom and 8 feet 6 inches wide.

• Cabin height: 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 meters)
• Max width: 8 feet 6 inches (2.58 meters)
• Cabin length: 40 feet 4 inches (12.30 meters)

All that space translates to room for more personal productivity: for collaborating, for working and for sleeping on long flights.

The Falcon 6X provides the largest cabin space in the 5,000 nm range and boasts the tallest and widest crosssection of any dedicated business jet. Utilising this generous space and incorporating valuable feedback from customers, Dassault Aviation’s in-house Design Studio reimagined and redesigned the cabin interior. The result is a layout defined by smooth, continuous lines that amplify the sense of openness and comfort onboard.

A defining feature of the 6X is its advanced cabin air management system. Air inside is refreshed up to 10 times faster than in modern office buildings. Its hospital-grade HEPA/ULPA filtration system captures 99.97 per cent of airborne particles, including viruses as small as 0.06 microns, ensuring superior in-flight air quality.

Acoustically, the cabin continues Dassault’s legacy for silence, offering one of the quietest environments in business aviation. Combined with smooth pressurisation and ergonomic seating, passengers arrive at their destination rested and refreshed.

The Falcon 6X cabin is equipped with Dassault’s advanced cabin management system, allowing passengers to control lighting, entertainment, and climate through their personal devices. Its seamless, high-speed broadband solution — FalconConnect — ensures uninterrupted connectivity for work and leisure throughout the journey.

Technologically, the jet features Dassault’s pioneering Digital Flight Control System (DFCS). The DFCS governs all flight control surfaces for optimised performance, flight envelope protection, and enhanced safety margins. It also harmonises control responses across all three axes, mitigating turbulence effects and simplifying pilot workload for a smoother passenger experience.

The aircraft’s large, powerful rudder and integrated nosewheel steering further improve responsiveness during ground operations and in challenging takeoff and landing conditions.

GREATER ACCESS, UNMATCHED FLEXIBILITY

The Falcon 6X redefines operational versatility by offering more airport options closer to passengers’ ultimate destinations. It delivers exceptional mission flexibility, pairing the longest range in its category — up to 5,500 nautical miles — with the short-field performance synonymous with the Falcon family.

This capability allows the Falcon 6X to link an impressive variety of city pairs worldwide, including routes typically out of reach for larger business jets. Thanks to its advanced aerodynamics and field performance, it can access airports with shorter runways and difficult approaches that would otherwise be inaccessible.

LONG-RANGE & EXCEPTIONAL SHORT-FIELD CAPABILITY

Capable of flying up to 5,500 nautical miles (10,186 km) at Mach 0.80, or 5,100 nautical miles (9,445 km) at Mach 0.85, the 6X opens up nonstop routes across continents and oceans — connecting major business hubs and remote destinations alike.

Engineered for demanding missions, the Falcon 6X is equipped with advanced wing designs featuring extendable leading-edge slats and trailing-edge flaps. These enable approach speeds as low as 110 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS) — even with eight passengers, three crew members, and standard NBAA IFR reserves. The jet handles steep, non-standard approaches up to six degrees, making it ideal for operations into challenging airfields like London City, Lugano, Saint-Tropez, and Aspen, where other long-range jets might hesitate.
