The ultra-long-haul Falcon 8X
is a flagship of the Dassault Aviations
business jets. It reaches
a speed of 1100 km/h and is
able to fly a distance of 11 945
km without refuelling. Tailored
airfoil, winglets, and a new propulsion
system significantly improve
the aerodynamics of the
business jet, adding high efficiency
in use to the excellent
flight performance.
The aircraft is equipped with
an innovative third-generation
EASy system, a three-dimensional
weather radar and a Falcon
Eye Head-Up Display which
combines a real and a computer-generated
picture.
Falxon 8X features the same
three-engine layout as Falcon
7X which, as already mentioned,
improves flight safety over water
areas and during take-off
in mountainous areas.
Falcon 8X is referred to as a personal
penthouse at 15,000 m.
This model offers a wide range
of cabin configurations. More
than 30 cabin layout options include
three lounge areas, three
kitchen options based on size,
and two types of crew compartments.
Some configurations include
a shower unit.

throughout a long flight.
The Falcon 8X has the longest
cabin and longest range
of any Falcon produced in the
history of the French
manufacturer.

Falcon 8X and the latest Falcon
6X, Dassault Aviation’s current
