Dassault's Falcon 6X Flies at the Paris Air Show

The fly-by-wire Dassault Falcon 6X business jet's PW812D engine ("D" for Dassault) delivers 13,500 pounds of thrust, features a 44-inch single-piece fan, 4.5:1 to 5:1 bypass ratio, and low-emissions Talon X combustor. With eight passengers and three crew at a long-range cruise speed of Mach 0.80, the 6X’s maximum range is 5,500 nm (10,200 km). At Mach 0.85 that drops to 5,100 nm. Maximum Mach operating speed (MMO) is 0.90 and the ceiling is 51,000 feet.

Its wing design and digital flight control system contribute to short-field capabilities and steep approach performance, enabling access to airports with shorter runways. The cockpit includes an EASy IV flight deck and FalconEye HUD.

The aircraft has received dual certification from EASA and the FAA, entering service on November 30, 2023. Its cabin measures 6 feet 6 inches high and 8 feet 6 inches wide, accommodating up to 16 passengers in three distinct lounge areas. The interior features 30 windows and a skylight.
