AFalcon 900 behind a Falcon 2000

The Dassault Falcon is a family of business jets, manufactured by Dassault Aviation. Dassault produce the midsize Falcon 2000S/LXS twinjet, the long-range Falcon 900LX trijet and ultra-long range Dassault Falcon 7X/8X trijets.

The first Falcon 20 took off on its first flight on 4 May 1963,[1] and was handed over to a customer in 1965.[2] The Falcon 900 was rolled out in 1984, and the Falcon 7X made its first flight in 2005.[1] The 2,000th Falcon was delivered in 2009, and the Falcon 8X made its first flight in 2015.[1] The 2,500th Falcon was delivered in July 2017, as more than 2,100 were in service with 1,230 operators in 90 countries, having accumulated 17.8 million flight hours.[2]

In 2018, Dassault launched the Falcon 6X with a 5,500 nmi (10,200 km) range.[3] By May 2023, more than 2,700 business jets have been delivered.[1] The Falcon 10X is planned for certification in late 2025.[1] .
