In a debut event in Bordeaux-Mérignac, Dassault Aviation unveiled the Falcon 10X, a business jet that leverages the company’s military aviation expertise to set new standards in performance and safety. The aircraft represents a synthesis of advanced aerodynamics and cutting-edge flight technology.
At its core is the business aviation industry’s first all-composite wing. This structure, combined with advanced high-lift devices, delivers exceptional aerodynamic efficiency and weight reduction, supporting a large cabin without compromising the agility and short-field access for which Falcons are renowned. Powering this airframe are two Rolls-Royce Pearl 10X engines, producing over 18,000 lbs of thrust each, enabling a top speed of Mach 0.925 and a transcontinental range of 7,500 nautical miles.
Pilot capability is elevated by the new NeXus flight deck. Inspired by Dassault’s Rafale fighter jet, the cockpit integrates large touch-screen displays, a dual FalconEye enhanced vision system, and a unique Smart Throttle. This, combined with a third-generation digital flight control system, introduces features like an automatic recovery mode—a first for a large business jet—which can automatically return the aircraft to a safe flight attitude, dramatically enhancing the safety envelope.
