10X
WINNING STREAK
New
praise for the newest Falcon
The
Falcon 10X continues to harvest accolades.
Recently, the Robb Report
named it the 2022 Best of the Best
Ultra-Long-Range Jet for “its
largest-in-class interior as well as extended
range and speed.” The
judges of the prestigious Red Dot Design Awards
raved, “the cabin is
more like a "hotel suite than a plane." And the
Runway Girl Network
noted its aesthetic has “shades of Mondrian…just
one of the influences
that is very French yet very
refined.”

SOME
LIKE IT HOT
Falcon
6X tops another tough test
Last
December, the 6X cold soaked to -37°C (-35°F) in
successful tests in
Canada. This summer, the scene shifted to
Tozeur, gateway to the
Tunisian desert. The 6X baked on the ramp to
48°C (118°F), with interior
temps higher still. Engine starts and the fuel
system behaved as
expected. Cabin cooling was more than adequate
for the brutally hot
conditions. The 6X is in the final phase of
testing, receiving high
marks from pilots and engineers. | |

A
WORLD TOUR WONDER
Falcon
6X route-proving tour achieved
The
first production Falcon 6X, serial number 004,
took off from Paris-Le
Bourget for a world route-proving tour in July.
The tour spanned 40
destinations and over 150 flight hours.
Engineers evaluated more than
250 items involving the flight deck, the cabin,
external ground service
points and more. It was a true test of the
real-word maturity of the
Falcon 6X, which is due to enter service in
mid-2023. | |

SEEING
DOUBLE
Dassault
Dual HUD is good to go
With
FAA and EASA certification in hand, a dual
head-up display option is
now available for the Falcon 8X. Several
operators have already
scheduled installations. The option will also be
certified on the Falcon
6X, which enters service mid-2023. FalconEye,
single HUD aircraft can
fly non-precision approaches to 100 feet. The
dual HUD will eventually
permit landing in near zero-zero conditions,
pending new EASA
regulations.

EASy
IV AT THE CONTROLS
A
new level of flight deck capability
Dassault
has introduced the fourth generation of the EASy
flight deck with more
vivid displays, more processing power, new
capabilities and new safety
features—for example, an alert feature to
prevent runway overruns. EASy
IV is the new standard for the Falcon 6X, which
enters service mid-2023.
It will also be standard on new Falcon 8X
aircraft starting in 2023.
EASy IV is available as an upgrade for earlier
7X and 8X aircraft.
