Overview
- The aircraft was unveiled at Dassault’s Mérignac facility near Bordeaux as development transitions from rollout to first flights.
- Dassault lists a top speed of Mach 0.925 and a maximum range of about 7,500 nautical miles, enabling nonstop city pairs such as New York–Shanghai.
- The 10X debuts what Dassault calls business aviation’s first all-composite wing, a larger new fuselage with 38 oversized windows, and a low 3,000-foot cabin altitude at 41,000 feet.
- Power comes from two Rolls-Royce Pearl 10X engines rated at more than 18,000 pounds of thrust each, tailored for business aviation.
- Positioned against Gulfstream’s G700 and Bombardier’s Global 7500/8000, the jet carries an $80 million-plus price tag, with completions planned in Little Rock under a long-term expansion that Dassault says will add roughly 800 jobs.
