Dassault Falcon 8X
The Dassault Falcon 8X is the flagship of the Falcon family, offering the greatest combination of range, runway flexibility, and cabin comfort in the ultra-long-range segment. As the only trijet in its class, it delivers exceptional safety margins while accessing airports that no other aircraft of its range capability can reach.
Three-Engine Advantage
The Falcon 8X is powered by three Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307D engines, each producing 29.90 kN (6,722 lbf) of thrust. This trijet configuration provides:
- Superior safety margins for oceanic and remote operations
- Steep approach capability up to 6 degrees
- Better single-engine climb performance than twin-engine competitors
- Regulatory advantages for extended operations
Despite the third engine, the 8X is up to 35% more fuel efficient than competitors in the ultra-long-range segment, thanks to advanced aerodynamics including redesigned winglets and an optimized leading-edge wing profile.
Ultra-Long-Range Capability
The 11,945 km (6,450 nm) range at Mach 0.80 enables nonstop flights between:
- Asia to North America: Beijing-New York, Shanghai-Seattle, Hong Kong-Seattle
- Europe to South America: London-São Paulo, Paris-Buenos Aires
- Asia to Europe: Hong Kong-London, Singapore-Paris
- Europe to Africa: London-Cape Town
- North America to Middle East: New York-Tel Aviv
The aircraft cruises at a maximum altitude of 15,545 m (51,000 ft) with a cabin altitude of just 1,189 m (3,900 ft) at 12,497 m (41,000 ft) - the lowest in its class, significantly reducing passenger fatigue on long flights.
London City Airport Capability
The Falcon 8X is the only ultra-long-range business jet certified for London City Airport operations, which require steep 5.5-degree approaches. With a landing distance of just 677 m (2,220 ft) and approach speed of 107 knots, it can access challenging airports that competitors cannot serve:
- London City (LCY) - 5.5° approach required
- Lugano (LUG) - mountainous approach
- Samedan/St. Moritz (SMV) - high altitude, short runway
- Aspen (ASE) - high altitude operations
The balanced field takeoff distance of 1,792 m (5,880 ft) at maximum takeoff weight enables departures from most executive airports worldwide.
Cabin Excellence
The 13 m (42 ft 8 in) cabin features 32 extra-large windows and the quietest environment in business aviation at approximately 49 EPNdB. Dassault offers over 30 standard cabin configurations, including:
- Three galley sizes with crew rest options
- Private VIP stateroom with optional shower
- Six-seat conference grouping
- Up to six sleeping berths for overnight flights
- 32-inch pop-up television in media room configuration
The cabin is 2.34 m (7 ft 8 in) wide and 1.88 m (6 ft 2 in) tall, with 48 m³ (1,695 ft³) total volume. Advanced filtration continuously refreshes the cabin air, maintaining an environment 10 times cleaner than modern office buildings.
FalconEye Combined Vision System
The optional FalconEye system represents the most advanced head-up display in business aviation. It was the first to combine:
- Synthetic Vision (SVS): Database-driven terrain imaging with worldwide coverage
- Enhanced Vision (EVS): Multi-sensor camera with infrared capability
- Combined Vision (CVS): Merged real-world and synthetic imagery
With a 30×40 degree field of view at 1280×1024 resolution, FalconEye provides unprecedented situational awareness. It is certified for approaches down to 30 m (100 ft) above touchdown zone elevation in low visibility conditions.
EASy III Flight Deck
The third-generation EASy flight deck, powered by Honeywell Primus Epic, features:
- Four large LCD displays in T-configuration
- Integrated CPDLC system for datalink communications
- Honeywell IntuVue RDR-4000 3D weather radar with 60 nm turbulence detection
- Integrated electronic flight bags (FalconSphere II)
- Digital flight control system with envelope protection
Connectivity
FalconConnect provides comprehensive in-flight connectivity:
- Ka-band, Ku-band, and L-band satellite communications
- Real-time videoconferencing and voice over IP
- 3G/4G ground network integration
- FalconCabin HD+ fiber optic entertainment distribution
Operating Economics
The Falcon 8X delivers exceptional value in the ultra-long-range segment:
- Direct operating costs approximately $4,000/hour
- 800 hours or 12 months between inspections (30% longer than previous generation)
- No life-limited primary structural parts
- Up to $11 million savings over six years compared to primary competitors
