The 6,450 nm \/ 11,945 km Falcon 8X has been a market leader\nin the Asia\/Pacific since the first aircraft was delivered in the region three\nyears ago. The 8X can fly non-stop from Hong Kong to London, Singapore to\nZurich or Beijing to New York, but has the versatility to land at restricted\nairports like London City that are typically inaccessible to large business\njets. The aircraft\u2019s spacious cabin is the quietest of any business jet on the\nmarket and offers a shower option and a large entryway with a certified crew\nrest for very long flights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 4,000 nm \/ 7,410 km Falcon 2000LXS has also proven\npopular with corporate customers in the Asia Pacific region. Equipped with\nfull-length inboard slats and high-mach blended winglets that enhance approach\nand landing capabilities as well as balanced field length, the 2000LXS offers a\nshort-field capability comparable to smaller midsize business jet models but\nwith a range and comfort level far better than that of those aircraft. The\nairplane can fly from Singapore to Sydney or Singapore to Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asia Pacific Market Outlook<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Asia Pacific region is also anticipated to be a major\nmarket for the 5,500 nm \/ 10,186 km Falcon 6X, which will be the most spacious,\nmodern and versatile twin in its class. \u201cWe expect the Asia Pacific region to\nbe a major driver for our ultra-widebody Falcon 6X, as it is already proving to\nbe for our Falcon 8X flagship,\u201d said Dassault Aviation Chairman\/CEO Eric\nTrappier. \u201cThe region has always been a key market for Falcon aircraft, whose\nefficiency, cabin comfort, and safety level are important criteria for local\noperators.\u201d Currently, over 100 Falcons are based in the Asia Pacific region,\nhalf of them being late generation models like the Falcon 8X and the Falcon 7X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Falcon 6X will offer a cabin measuring 2.58 m \/ 102 inches\nwide, 1.98 m \/ 6 feet 6 inches high and 12.30 m \/ 40 feet 4 inches long \u2014 and\nwill be capable of flying directly from Singapore to Paris. It will be equipped\nwith a new-generation Digital Flight Control System that provides better maneuverability\nby controlling all moving surfaces, including a new control surface, called a\nflaperon, adapted from Dassault fighter aircraft. Development of the 6X,\nincluding its Pratt & Whitney Canada PW812D engine, is on schedule and\nfinal assembly of the first aircraft will begin early this year. The first\nflight is set for 2021 and certification and initial delivery are planned for\n2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Advanced systems expand Falcon aircraft capabilities, productivity and safety<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Falcon 8X, 2000LXS and other top-line Falcons are available\nwith a number of advanced systems that considerably enhance aircraft capability\nand safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These include FalconConnect, a new inflight broadband\nservice that keeps passengers fully connected at all times, everywhere in the\nworld. FalconConnect integrates all cockpit and cabin ground-based and\nsatellite communications into a single bundled offering, making onboard\nconnectivity systems easy to use and consumption simple to manage and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Falcon aircraft are also available with Dassault\u2019s revolutionary\nFalconEye Combined Vision System, the first head up display (HUD) system in\nbusiness aviation to combine synthetic and enhanced vision capabilities in a\nsingle view. This allows pilots to fly approaches in poor visibility conditions\nwith an unprecedented level of situational awareness providing exceptional\nsafety and reliability margins. FalconEye is now approved for an enhanced\nflight vision system capability that gives operational credit for poor\nvisibility approaches down to 100 ft, greatly improving access to airports in\nall-weather conditions at day or night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n #1 in Customer Support<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dassault\u2019s excellence in customer service was recently\nrecognized in two operator surveys conducted by Pro Pilot Magazine and Aviation\nInternational News (AIN), which both voted Dassault Aviation the top service\nprovider in the business jet sector. Operators cited spares availability, cost\nof parts, speed of AOG service and overall aircraft reliability as the major\nmotivating factors in their decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dassault has further reinforced its aftermarket support with\nthe acquisition of a series of large maintenance, repair and overhaul\nbusinesses, in particular ExecuJet, which have enabled the company to expand\nits company-owned MRO network in Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and\nEurope and move closer to operators in these areas. ExecuJet MRO Services\u2019\nKuala Lumpur facility is expected to become a major hub for Falcon after-sales\nservice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dassault also continues to expand backup customer support\ncapabilities outside the Asia Pacific region. Early last year, the company\nopened a state-of-the-art spare parts distribution center near Charles de\nGaulle Airport in Paris that will further improve the speed and reliability of\nspares shipments to Falcon customers in Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Europe\nand Africa. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dassault Aviation will showcase its ultra-long-range Falcon 8X flagship and high-performance Falcon 2000LXS at this year\u2019s edition of the Singapore Air Show, which opens February 11 at Changi Exhibition Centre.
