Falcon 10X: The New Standard for Ultra‑Long‑Range Excellence
In a striking reveal witnessed by more than 400 customers, partners, and aviation leaders inside Dassault Aviation’s newly built production hall, the company introduced its most ambitious business jet to date: the Falcon 10X. As the curtain rose at 8:00 p.m. CET, the aircraft appeared as a bold declaration of what the future of long‑range business aviation will look like.
With the Falcon 10X, Dassault sets a new standard for the industry, unveiling the largest, most comfortable, and most adaptable cabin ever created for a purpose‑built business jet, reshaping expectations for how passengers can experience time in the air.
“The objective,” says Dassault CEO Eric Trappier, “is to allow passengers to experience time on board the aircraft as just another part of their everyday life, not as a long interval between origin and destination. So they arrive feeling refreshed and at their very best.”
he aircraft’s expansive cabin – eight inches wider and two inches taller than its closest competitor – gives owners the freedom to create interiors that feel less like a conventional aircraft and more like a contemporary living or working space.
A New Benchmark in Business Aviation
Achieving this level of comfort while preserving the hallmark efficiency and operational versatility of the Falcon family demanded innovation across nearly every dimension of the aircraft.
Dassault’s engineers drew on expertise honed through the company’s most advanced military programs, pushing boundaries in aerodynamics, materials, avionics, and flight-control systems. Dassault remains the world’s only manufacturer designing and producing both next‑generation fighter jets and business aircraft, a unique cross‑disciplinary advantage now fully expressed in the Falcon 10X.
With a top speed of Mach .925 and a maximum range of 7,500 nm, the Falcon 10X brings the world’s most in‑demand city pairs comfortably within reach – from New York to Shanghai, Los Angeles to Sydney, São Paulo to Dubai, or Beijing to Paris.
Passenger well‑being was engineered with equal ambition. At a cruising altitude of 41,000 feet, the cabin will maintain an exceptionally low 3,000‑foot pressure altitude, supported by 100 percent fresh air and individually adjustable temperature zones. The 10X’s newly designed fuselage incorporates 38 oversized windows, nearly 50 percent larger than those on the Falcon 8X, flooding the interior with natural light and creating the brightest cabin in business aviation.
Measuring 9 feet 1 inch (2.77 m) in width and 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 m) in height, the Falcon 10X cabin surpasses the dimensions of several regional jets. Owners can tailor three‑ or four‑zone layouts that accommodate expansive dining areas, private Falcon Privacy Suites, full‑size bedrooms, and even optional stand‑up showers.
A Wing Built for the Future
At the core of the Falcon 10X is business aviation’s first all‑composite wing.
This advanced structure blends Dassault’s signature high‑lift devices – slats and flaps- with a next‑generation composite architecture that enhances aerodynamic performance while reducing overall weight. The result is a wing capable of supporting the aircraft’s generous cabin volume without compromising the agility and runway versatility that define the Falcon lineage.
