History and design evolution of Dassault's trijet business jet

Before launching the Falcon 7X, Dassault increased its private aviation offerings with several models: "Falcon 75 introduced in 1968," "Falcon 10 introduced in 1970," "Falcon 50 introduced in 1976," "Falcon 900 introduced in 1984," and "Falcon 2000 introduced in 1993." These developments established Dassault's position in private aviation.

The Falcon trijet program launched in the late '90s led to unveiling a new jet at the Paris Air Show in 2001. The first prototype completed its maiden flight in May 2005 after extensive research and development. The Falcon 7X received certification from both EASA and FAA by April 2007, entering service two months later.

Since then, over 300 units have been produced along with a longer variant called Falcon 8X. The Falcon 7X features an extended fuselage compared to its predecessor Falcon 900 but retains similar cross-section dimensions. It includes fly-by-wire controls—making it unique among business jets—and boasts advanced avionics developed jointly by Dassault and Honeywell.

The aircraft can accommodate up to sixteen passengers depending on configuration preferences within an interior cabin measuring: Cabin height: "6.17 feet", Cabin width: "7.67 feet", Cabin length: "39.07 feet". Powered by three Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307A turbofan engines delivering more than nineteen thousand pounds of thrust collectively; these enable performance metrics such as Maximum speed: "516 knots (594 miles per hour)" alongside Range capabilities reaching nearly six thousand nautical miles at Service ceiling altitudes around fifty-one thousand feet above sea level.
