It\ncan fly from London to Hong Kong or from Los Angeles to Moscow nonstop. The\nFalcon 6X can also perform safe approaches as low as only 109 knots, slower\nthan other business jets. This allows the 6X, like other Falcons, to safely\naccess small airports equipped with ultra-short and hard-to-reach runways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The final assembly team at Dassault Aviation in Bordeaux-Merignac (France) opened the doors of Charles Lindbergh Hall today to show the world the company\u2019s newest and most advanced aircraft, the Falcon 6X. \u201cToday\u2019s rollout is a significant achievement.
