Dassault Unveils Falcon 10X Business Jet

The Falcon 10X's all-composite wing marks a major milestone, improving aerodynamic efficiency and reducing weight while maintaining the short-field performance Falcons are known for. This design combines traditional high-lift devices with a next-generation composite structure. The high-sweep, high-aspect-ratio wings are optimized for both high-speed and low-speed flight. Powering the Falcon 10X is the Rolls-Royce Pearl 10X engine, the most advanced in business aviation, delivering over 18,000 pounds of thrust. It incorporates the Advance2 core, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions and noise. The engine has a 10-stage high-pressure compressor and uses additive layer manufacturing in the combustor. The aircraft introduces the NeXus flight deck with touchscreen displays and advanced automation. A Smart Throttle, inspired by the Rafale fighter, allows pilots to manage both engines with a single lever. The FalconEye Enhanced Vision System enhances safety in low visibility. Its spacious cabin, wider and taller than competitors, allows for multiple configurations, including bedrooms and optional showers. The aircraft maintains a low cabin altitude of 3,000 feet at a cruising altitude of 41,000 feet and circulates 100% fresh air. The 38 windows are around 50% larger than those on the Falcon 8X.
