So they arrive feeling refreshed and at their very best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aircraft\u2019s spacious interior is eight inches wider and two inches taller than its nearest competitor, enabling owners to design interiors that feel less like a traditional aircraft cabin and more like a modern living or working environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A New Benchmark in Business Aviation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delivering that level of comfort while maintaining the efficiency and operational flexibility that define Falcon aircraft, required innovation across nearly every aspect of the airplane.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"324\" src=\"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DA00061737.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34544\" style=\"width:336px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DA00061737.jpg 500w, https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DA00061737-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Engineers applied expertise drawn from the company\u2019s cutting-edge military aircraft programs to advance aerodynamics, materials, avionics and flight controls. Dassault remains the only manufacturer in the world designing and building both advanced fighter jets and business aircraft\u2014a cross disciplinary advantage now reflected in the Falcon 10X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Falcon 10X will cruise at speeds approaching the sound barrier with a top speed of .925 Mach and has a maximum range of 7,500 nm, allowing it to easily connect the world most popular city pairs such as New York to Shanghai, Los Angeles to Sydney, S\u00e3o Paulo to Dubai or Beijing to Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Passenger comfort was engineered with equal ambition. At a cruising altitude of 41,000 feet, cabin pressure will be maintained at an exceptionally low 3,000 feet, complemented by 100 percent fresh air continuously renewed throughout the cabin and individually adjustable temperature zones. The 10X\u2019s entirely new fuselage comes with 38 extra-large windows\u2014nearly 50 percent larger than those on the Falcon 8X\u2014flood the cabin with natural light, making it the brightest cabin in business aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Measuring 9 feet, 1 inch wide (2.77 m) and 6-feet, 8 inches tall (2.03 m), the cabin is larger than some regional jets. Customers can configure three- or four-zone interiors including expansive dining areas, Falcon Privacy Suites, full-size bedrooms, and even optional shower installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Wing Built for the Future<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of the Falcon 10X is business aviation\u2019s first all-composite wing.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"337\" src=\"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DA00061779.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34545\" style=\"width:323px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DA00061779.jpg 500w, https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DA00061779-300x202.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The advanced structure combines traditional Dassault high-lift devices\u2014slats and flaps\u2014with a next generation composite architecture that improves aerodynamic efficiency while reducing weight. The result is a wing that supports the aircraft\u2019s large cabin while maintaining the agility and runway flexibility that Falcon aircraft are known for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDassault Falcons have always been at the vanguard of business aviation,\u201d noted Trappier, \u201cand the 10X is no exception, embodying the very best technology available today. From the user perspective, the equation is simple: an objectively better experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Flight Deck that Thinks Ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Falcon 10X introduces the NeXus flight deck, the most advanced cockpit ever installed in a business jet.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Miles-Obrien-et-Hayley-Edmonds-ceremony-hosts-with-Dirk-Geisinger-CEO-of-Rolls-Royce.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34546\" style=\"width:367px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Miles-Obrien-et-Hayley-Edmonds-ceremony-hosts-with-Dirk-Geisinger-CEO-of-Rolls-Royce.jpg 500w, https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Miles-Obrien-et-Hayley-Edmonds-ceremony-hosts-with-Dirk-Geisinger-CEO-of-Rolls-Royce-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Miles O\u2019brien and Hayley Edmonds, ceremony hosts, with Dirk Geisinger, CEO of Rolls-Royce.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Designed to reduce pilot workload and enhance situational awareness\u2014especially during demanding phases of flight\u2014the NeXus cockpit integrates large touch-screen displays with new automation tools that help crews manage complex missions with greater confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A standard dual FalconEye Enhanced Vision System adds further safety and capability in low visibility, with new features that aid in the most complex maneuvers, such as night circling approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Falcon 10X also introduces the third generation of Dassault\u2019s digital flight-control system in a business aircraft. Integrated with a Smart Throttle, inspired by the controls of the Rafale fighter, the system automatically manages both engines through a single control while assisting pilots with functions such as noise-abatement climbs and stabilized go-arounds. These combined digital capabilities make possible the first automatic recovery mode in a large business jet, further extending the safety envelope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dassault pioneered fly-by-wire flight controls in business aviation with the Falcon 7X in 2007\u2014 technology that prevents overspeeding, overstressing or stalling the aircraft while delivering the smooth flying qualities that Falcon owners value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More Power and a greater flying level of efficiency<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Pearl 10X engine features the Advance2 engine core, the most efficient core available across the business aviation sector, and combines it with a high-performance low-pressure system, resulting in a superior thrust of more than 18,000 lb. The Pearl 10X offers a step-change in power and efficiency, while delivering outstanding low noise and emissions performance. This combination will enable operators to have premium airport accessibility and fly ultra-long-range connections, whilst also being able to travel close to the speed of sound. \u201cToday is a very special day for Rolls-Royce and the team. We are excited and proud to deliver the thrust for this extraordinary aircraft and I would like to congratulate the Dassault family as well as the Falcon team on this special occasion,&#8221; said Dr Dirk Geisinger, Director, Business Aviation, Rolls-Royce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the unveiling complete, the Falcon 10X program now moves toward its next big milestone: flight testing. Once airborne, the aircraft will begin an extensive evaluation campaign designed to validate its performance and bring the most advanced Falcon ever built into service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a dramatic unveiling before more than 400 customers, partners and aviation leaders gathered in a new production hall in Bordeaux-M\u00e9rignac, Dassault Aviation rolled out the Falcon 10X\u2014its most ambitious business jet ever.
