Dassault Aviation, a French aerospace company, has a legacy of more than a century in manufacturing both military and business jets. Known for the Falcon series, Dassault has integrated advanced technology from military aircraft into business aviation, creating jets with a focus on innovation and luxury. The series started with Marcel Dassault's vision and led to the first Falcon flight over 60 years ago. Today, 2,100 Falcon jets are operational in 90 countries.
"Dassault Aviation has created more than 100 prototypes in the last century and has delivered over 10,000 aircraft to 90 countries," the company states. With a workforce of approximately 14,600 employees, most based in France, Dassault maintains a strong global presence supported by a network of service facilities.
Marcel Dassault envisioned technologically superior aircraft with an elegant design. This vision became a reality starting with the Mystère 20, which evolved into the Dassault Falcon 20 for the U.S. market with its General Electric CF700 engines. It was well-received, marking Dassault's entry into business aviation.
