Goulian Demos 8X Extreme Agility

8X PULLING G’S

A unique 8X demonstration

 

Since its introduction, the Falcon 8X has flown countless demo flights, setting records for speed and efficiency. Recently, the 8X’s robust airframe and advanced digital flight controls were put to the ultimate test by none other than the legendary aerobatic champion and airshow performer, Mike Goulian. Renowned aviation journalist Miles O’Brien was there to capture and report on the action. So, how did the Falcon 8X perform? Come along with Mike for a flight you’ll never forget and see why he calls it “a pilot’s airplane.”

SUSTAINABLE FLIGHT THE FALCON WAY

Our crew chief on biofuels

 

In his most recent Crew Chief Blog, Jean Kayanakis tackles a subject of concern for everyone who flies a Falcon: reducing their carbon footprint. Fortunately, Falcons are among the most efficient jets flying and higher efficiency equals lower emissions. Better yet, Falcons can utilize biofuels (SAF for Sustainable Aviation Fuel), which can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80%! Dassault is doing its part by flying demo aircraft to trade shows, such as EBACE and NBAA on biofuel blends, and will be undertaking more such operations in the future.
