At NBAA-BACE, Dassault Aviation showcased the company’s best-selling 2000LXS twin and the Falcon 8X ultra-long range trijet, which Dassault says is quietest business jet on the market.
The 2000LXS is equipped with a widebody cabin that can comfortably accommodate up to 10 passengers. It is capable of a 4,000 nm range and offers an unmatched short-field airport capability. The aircraft features a unique combination of comfort and economical, go-anywhere performance has helped sell nearly 700 aircraft to date.
The 6,450 nm Falcon 8X recently received a flight deck upgrade to the EASy IV flight deck offering improved capability and safety features. The 8X also received approval to use Dassault’s advanced, dual head-up display, which allows both pilots to share the same synthetic and enhanced vision view. Dual HUDs enhance situational awareness while simplifying training requirements. The feature is also now available as an aftermarket retrofit on operational 8X.
Both the 8X and the 2000LXS are available with Dassault’s revolutionary FalconEye Combined Vision System, the first HUD to blend synthetic, database-driven terrain mapping and actual thermal and low-light camera images into a single view. FalconEye currently permits low-visibility approaches to a decision height of 100 ft.
In development is the ultra-widebody Falcon 10X twin, currently in development. The 10X, will be powered by 100-percent SAF-capable Rolls Royce Pearl 10X engines and will be the largest purpose-built business jet on the market with 7,500 nautical miles range. The aircraft’s flexible, penthouse-in-the-sky cabin has won several prestigious design awards and promises to provide the most productive and restful cabin experience of any business jet.
