tures that no other large-cab-
in business jet can compete
with, guaranteeing fully ma-
ture systems and a proven
propulsion engine.”
The Fa lc on 6X c a bi n i s
6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m) high
and 8 feet 6 inches (2.58 m)
w ide – the tallest and w id-
est cross-section in a pu r-
pose-built business jet – with
a leng th of nea rly 40 feet
8 inches long (12.3 m). It can
accommodate 16 passengers
in three separate lounge areas,
which provides space for sev-
eral configurations, including
a large entrance area, a crew
rest compartment and a spa-
cious rear lounge.
Every aspect of the style
and design of the interior was
completely rethought based
on an extensive review of cus-
tomer preferences and mate-
rials from Dassault Aviation’s
own design studio. The cab-
in also has improved natural
light thanks to 29 large win-
dows, including a unique ceil-
ing in the galley – the first ever
in business aviation designed
to provide additional lighting
in an area that is usually cut
off from natural light.
“The industry is moving to-
wards increasingly wider and
taller cabins, and our custom-
ers have made it clear that
they would like to see more
space in our new Falcon busi-
ness jets,” Trappier contin-
ues. “We developed the Falcon
6X in response to our custom-
er needs, with a comfortable
and well-equipped cabin com-
bined with high performance
and other flying qualities that
our customers value in Fal-
con aircraft.”
The Falcon 6X is equipped
with an ultra-efficient wing
that minimizes the effects of
turbulence, and a latest gen-
eration digital flight control
system that handles all con-
trol surfaces, including the
brand new Flaperon, a con-
trol surface that combines the
functions of both flaps and ai-
lerons. The 6X is the first busi-
ness jet with flaperons that
sig n ifica ntly improve ha n-
dling during approach, espe-
cially on steep glides.
The aircraf t is also
equipped w ith an industr y
leading noise reduction sys-
tem, which is based on exten-
sive experience gained with
the new Falcon 8X, as well as
a completely new cabin and
third generation EASy III on-
board equipment. The Falcon
6X will come fully equipped,
including w ith the Fa lcon-
Sphere II logbook and the rev-
olutionar y FalconEye Com-
bined Vision System, the first
hea d-up-d isplay that com-
bines enhanced and synthet-
ic vision.
