The competition among private aviation leaders such as Dassault, Gulfstream, and Bombardier continues to drive advancements in performance, luxury, and technology. The Falcon 10X from Dassault Aviation is poised to be a notable entry in this market. This $75 million jet promises an impressive range of 7,500 nautical miles, allowing for nonstop flights between cities like Tokyo and London or Paris and Los Angeles.
Dassault Aviation is conducting extensive testing to ensure the Falcon 10X meets rigorous safety and performance standards. The aircraft will be powered by Rolls-Royce Pearl 10X engines, offering high efficiency with low noise and emissions. Certification processes are ongoing, with completion expected between 2026 and 2027.
“The whole idea behind NeXus is to create a flight deck environment that keeps pilots sharp in all flight conditions,” stated Carlos Brana, EVP of Civil Aircraft at Dassault. The NeXus flight deck won the Good Design Award 2024 for its innovative features aimed at reducing pilot workload through automation.
Rolls-Royce’s Pearl 10X engine was unveiled in Paris on May 6th, 2021. It features an ultra-low emissions combustor compatible with Sustainable Aviation Fuel and surpassed target thrust levels during its first test run.
Inside the Falcon 10X, passengers can expect a spacious cabin with extra-large windows providing ample natural light. The cabin design focuses on comfort with advanced pressurization systems and noise-reduction technologies to enhance passenger experience.
In December 2023, Dassault Falcon Jet announced plans for a $100 million expansion at their Little Rock facility in Arkansas. This expansion aims to create approximately 800 new jobs while celebrating the facility’s 50th anniversary in 2025.
