Setting a new standard for private jet enthusiasts and affluent travelers, the Dassault Falcon 10X emerges as a peerless contender in the realm of luxury aviation. Unveiled at the prestigious Paris Air Show from June 19 to 26, the Falcon 10X, fondly dubbed “the penthouse of the skies,” distinguishes itself in the realm of large business jets with its expansive cabin measuring 2.03m x 2.77m, accommodating up to 19 passengers, a feat unmatched in its class and notably surpassing the Gulfstream G700.

What sets the Falcon 10X apart is not just its spacious dimensions, but also its unparalleled comfort and extensive customization options. Whether it’s an enlarged dining or conference area, a generous entertainment space, or a private suite featuring amenities like a stand-up shower or a queen-size bed, the cabin offers a bespoke experience tailored to individual preferences. Additionally, boasting the largest baggage compartment in its class, accessibility and convenience reach new heights.

The cabin’s serenity is a testament to decades of engineering prowess in sound dampening acoustics, ensuring a refined journey through the skies. With expansive windows offering unobstructed panoramic views, passengers are treated to a well-lit environment devoid of any blind spots, further enhancing the travel experience.

Powered by two Rolls-Royce Pearl engines, the Falcon 10X achieves a maximum thrust of over 80.1 kN, reaching a top speed of Mach 0.925 (approximately 710 mph or 1,142 km/h). With an impressive range of 13,890 km and the capacity to accommodate eight passengers with NBAA IFR Reserves, the 10X sets the bar high, putting competitors like the Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 to the test.

Safety is paramount, with the Falcon 10X equipped with breakthrough automated protections and the revolutionary FalconEye Combined Vision System, enabling operation in conditions of minimal visibility. Anticipation among the elite for this extraordinary aircraft has been palpable, with its anticipated legacy awaiting only the passage of time.
