The Falcon business jet family brings a unique heritage rooted in fighter jet technology, drawing inspiration from iconic aircraft like the Mirage and Rafale. This DNA, the manufacturer boasts, is evident in every Falcon model, celebrated worldwide for its balance of performance, efficiency, and elegance. Since the first Falcon jet took to the skies in 1963, Dassault has continued to innovate, culminating most recently in the 10X—a jet embodying the ultimate in range and speed.

The Falcon jet family incorporates advanced technologies that prioritise safety, efficiency, and comfort. The Falcon-Eye Combined Vision System enhances situational awareness for pilots in all weather conditions, offering precise guidance down to 100 feet even on challenging terrain. FalconSphere, Dassault’s Electronic Flight Bag, streamlines mission planning, improving efficiency and reducing costs. The FalconResponse Aircraft On Ground (AOG) support swiftly addresses maintenance needs, with FalconScan monitoring aircraft health to preempt issues. FalconConnect provides seamless high-speed connectivity, while the optional Privacy Suite, featuring adjustable dividers and berthable seating, ensures a versatile, private space for work or relaxation. Dassault’s Digital Flight Control System (DFCS) optimises control surfaces, reducing pilot workload and ensuring a smooth flight, while the EASy flight deck enhances situational awareness and operational precision, solidifying Falcon as a leader in aviation technology.

Beyond performance, Dassault remains committed to sustainability. Falcons integrate eco-friendly features, such as high-aspect-ratio wings to reduce drag and weight-saving materials. Certified to use up to 50 per cent Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Falcons lead in the shift towards cleaner aviation, with a goal of 100 per cent SAF compatibility. Dassault also actively participates in international research and eco-initiatives, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050.

Its Falcon family now consists of the most recently launched Falcon 10X, Falcon 6X, Falcon 8X, Falcon 2000LXS, and Falcon 900LX.
