Dassault Rolls Out Falcon 10X, Its Ultra‑Long‑Range Flagship

The ultra‑long‑range jet now enters flight testing toward certification later this decade.

Overview

  • Dassault unveiled the first Falcon 10X at a roll‑out in Mérignac before about 400 guests on March 10.
  • The 10X is designed to fly roughly 7,500 nautical miles (about 14,000 km) non‑stop and offers a large, customizable cabin for up to 19 passengers.
  • Dassault highlights military‑derived flight‑control expertise from the Rafale program, Honeywell avionics with dual head‑up displays, short‑field capability, and high‑speed connectivity.
  • Flight tests are planned to begin in 2026, with deliveries targeted two to three years after testing and Rolls‑Royce Pearl 10X engines intended for 100% sustainable aviation fuel certification.
  • Priced above $80 million, the 10X targets the top end of the market where Dassault sells fewer jets than Gulfstream and Bombardier but competes on technology, handling, and cabin comfort.
