Dassault Falcon 10X
The Dassault Falcon 10X is a large, long-range business jet under development by Dassault Aviation in France.
Development
On 6 May 2021, Dassault launched its $75 million Falcon 10X flagship to compete with the Bombardier Global 7500 and the Gulfstream G700. Originally scheduled for 2025, the aircraft is now expected to begin deliveries in 2027.Design
It is long and has a 33.6 m -wide, high aspect ratio carbonfibre wing, a first for a Dassault business jet.It is powered by two Rolls-Royce Pearl 10X engines with over thrust, with a titanium fan blisk, a 10-stage compressor, a two-stage shroudless HP turbine and a four-stage turbine.
It has a 16 m long, four-zone cabin wider than its competition, wide and high, with a 3,000 ft cabin altitude at 41,000 ft and 50% larger windows than on the Falcon 8X.
It should cruise at Mach 0.85-0.925 with a range of 7,500 nmi, and should access steep approaches like London City Airport.
With sidesticks and a single throttle lever, the fly-by-wire flight control system has flightpath stability to avoid trimming, and head-up display-based FalconEye combined vision system.
High automation with automated return to straight and level flight, emergency descent, reduced take-off thrust and noise abatement modes could allow two pilots to fly for 15h instead of three currently.
