Aircraft Overview

History

Dassault unveiled the program at the 2001 Paris Air Show. The first flight took place on May 5, 2005, and the Falcon 7X entered service on June 15, 2007.

Design

The 7X uses three Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307A turbofans, a high-speed swept wing, and a Honeywell Primus Epic-based EASy flight deck. It was the first fully fly-by-wire business jet.

Variants

The longer-range Falcon 8X is derived from the 7X through aerodynamic refinements, engine optimization, and increased fuel capacity. The 7X remains a distinct model with its own dimensions and performance table.

Operations

The Falcon 7X is operated as a corporate and government transport. Its long range and large cabin support intercontinental missions.
