On November 30, Dassault Aviation celebrated the entry into service of the Falcon 6X business jet, which received FAA and EASA type certification in August 2022. Éric Trappier, chairman and CEO, expresses pride in delivering an exceptional aircraft to customers.

The Falcon 6X features a spacious cabin, achieving a 5,500 nautical mile range at Mach 0.80 or 5,100 nm at Mach 0.85. With its 6 feet 6 inches tall and 8 feet 6 inches wide cabin, it has the largest cross-section among purpose-built business jets, connecting long-range routes like Los Angeles to Moscow or Paris to Tokyo.

Equipped with a Digital Flight Control System (DFCS) and advanced aerodynamics, the Falcon 6X completed a more than two-year test campaign for certification. It can approach at low speeds, make steep approaches up to six degrees, and land in challenging airports like Aspen, Saint-Tropez, Lugano, and London City.

Dassault Aviation's Falcon 6X marks a significant milestone, offering customers a versatile and high-performance business jet with advanced features, including a spacious cabin and impressive range, suitable for long-haul flights and challenging airport landings.
