Dassault Aviation announces Falcon 10X business jet

Falcon 10X: Dassault Aviation’s Ultra-Long-Range Business Jet Redefining Private Aviation

The Dassault Falcon 10X is the newest flagship from Dassault Aviation and represents a major leap forward in ultra-long-range business aviation.

Designed to compete with aircraft such as the Gulfstream G700 and Bombardier Global 8000, the Falcon 10X combines exceptional range, the largest cabin in business aviation, and next-generation flight technology.

With a projected entry into service later this decade, the aircraft aims to redefine expectations for comfort, performance, and efficiency in private aviation.

Falcon 10X Specifications: Range, Speed and Performance

The Falcon 10X is engineered for true intercontinental travel, offering therange and speed required for nonstop flights between the world’s major business centers.

Key performance highlights

• Range: 7,500 nautical miles (13,900 km)
• Maximum speed: Mach 0.925
• Cruise speed: approximately Mach 0.85
• Passenger capacity: up to 19 passengers
• Service  ceiling: 51,000 feet

This range enables nonstop routes such as:

• New York – Shanghai
• Los Angeles – Sydney
• Hong Kong – New York
• Paris – Santiago

Powered by two Rolls-Royce Pearl 10X engines, each delivering more than 18,000 pounds of thrust, the aircraft offers both strong takeoff performance and improved fuel efficiency compared with previous engine generations.

The Largest Cabin in Business Aviation

One of the Falcon 10X’s most remarkable features is its exceptionally large cabin, designed to provide a residential-style flying experience.

Cabin dimensions

• Height: 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m)
• Width: 9 ft 1 in (2.77 m)
• Length: 53 ft 10 in (16.4 m)

‍

This makes it the largest cabin cross-section of any purpose-built business jet, offering nearly 2,780 cubic feet of cabin volume and unprecedented flexibility in interior design.

Owners can configure the cabin into multiple zones such as:

• Private bedroom suites
• Dining areas and lounges
• Office or conference spaces
• Entertainment or family areas

Large panoramic windows (around 50% larger than previous Falcon models) flood the cabin with natural light and enhance the feeling of openness.

Passenger Well-Being on Ultra-Long Flights

Dassault placed strong emphasis on passenger health and comfort, particularly for flights lasting over 12 hours.

The Falcon 10X introduces several innovations designed to reduce fatigue and improve the travel experience:

• Cabin altitude of approximately 3,000 ft at 41,000 ft cruising altitude
• Advanced air filtration delivering 100% fresh air
• Low cabin noise levels
• Improved humidity levels

These technologies help passengers arrive more rested and productive after long intercontinental journeys.

Advanced Flight Deck and Safety Technology

The Falcon 10X introduces one of the most advanced cockpits in business aviation.

The aircraft incorporates Dassault’s next-generation fly-by-wire flight control system, a technology originally developed for military aircraft and refined across the Falcon fleet.

Key flight deck innovations include:

• Large high-resolution touchscreen displays
• Side-stick controls
• Automated safety systems such as emergency descent and automatic return to stable flight
• Dassault’s FalconEye combined vision system for enhanced situational awareness.

These systems reduce pilot workload and enhance operational safety during complex missions.

Sustainability and Efficiency

The Falcon 10X also reflects the industry’s transition toward more sustainable business aviation.

Its advanced aerodynamics and efficient engines contribute to:

• Reduced fuel consumption
• Lower emissions
• Improved operating efficiency

The aircraft is also compatible with 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), allowing operators to significantly reduce lifecycle carbon emissions.

A New Benchmark in Ultra-Long-Range Private Aviation

With the Falcon 10X, Dassault Aviation has created one of the most ambitious business jets ever developed.

Combining 7,500 nautical miles of range, industry-leading cabin space, advanced fly-by-wire technology, and improved sustainability, the Falcon 10X is positioned to become a new benchmark for ultra-long-range private jets.

For corporations, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, and governments seeking the ultimate travel platform, the Falcon 10X promises a unique balance of performance, luxury, and innovation.
