Falcon 6X right on schedule
The news is good. The 6X program is on track for a first flight in 2021 with deliveries beginning in 2022. The initial design phase is complete, aircraft architecture has been finalized, and we’re cutting metal for structural parts. We’ve also begun building the fuselage, and engines are being tested. If you want to dig into the details about the great work that’s being done, you can follow the links below to see some recent photos, a press release, and a video.

TALKING, TEXTING AND MORE
FalconConnect arriving soon The year ended on a high note as the first aircraft – a Falcon 2000LXS – equipped with the new FalconConnect integrated onboard communications system was rolled out of a Dassault facility. FalconConnect is a comprehensive inflight communications system that allows passengers to talk, text and stream content seamlessly, throughout flights, even over oceans. It’s now available as an upgrade for in-service Falcons and soon on new Falcon aircraft.
