Dassault Falcon 8X Ultra Long-Range

The Dassault Falcon 8X had its first flight in February 2015 and is an upgrade to the 7X model. Besides improvements to its wing design and range, one noticeable change is the extended fuselage at approximately 3 ft 6" longer. At the time, this had established the 8X as having the longest cabin within the Falcon family of aircraft.

The cabin is known to be extremely quiet and measures at approximately 6 ft 2" in height, 7 ft 8" in width and 42 ft 10" in length. It also comes with the FalconHD+ in-flight system, which gives passengers the ability to control different features within the cabin interior. Some of these features include; lighting, window shades, temperature, audio, video etc.

The Falcon 8X uses tri-jet engines which are powered by three Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307D turbofans. In a standard configuration, the 8X can travel with up to 12 passengers. When traveling with 8 passengers and 3 crew, at a cruise speed of Mach 0.80. This aircraft can reach up to a maximum range of 6,450 nautical miles.

The cockpit features fly-by-wire technology (FBW) as well as the Honeywell Primus Epic EASy III Flight Deck Avionics. The fly-by-wire technology has a feature called "flight path stable". This works in conjunction with a side stick which makes handling of the aircraft much smoother and easier for the pilot.

Additionally, when it comes to avionics. You can also expect to find the FalconEye heads up display (HUD). In general, this helps to increase situational awareness, performance and overall safety of the aircraft.
