FALCON 6X: THE NEW STANDARD IN WIDEBODY BUSINESS AIRCRAFT

IN THE ELITE WORLD OF BUSINESS AVIATION, WHERE SPEED, range, and luxury intertwine, Dassault Aviation has once again raised the bar with the Falcon 6X — the first true extra-wide body business jet. Combining French elegance with cutting-edge aerospace engineering, the 6X delivers a travel experience designed to satisfy the most discerning global traveler.

Passenger- and pilot-centric, the Falcon 6X reflects the next step in Dassault’s legendary aircraft heritage. The Falcon 6X integrates the best features from Dassault Aviation’s world-leading business aircraft expertise to create the longest-range jet in its class with unparalleled passenger comfort, maximum mission flexibility, and the most advanced cockpit technologies available. The Falcon 6X is the most spacious, advanced, and versatile twinjet in the long-range business jet segment.

imageDassault Aviation’s Falcon 6X entered service on November 30, 2023. Type certification was granted prior to that by both EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) and the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration). In May 2024, the Falcon 6X made its EBACE debut after entering service in November, showcasing its next-gen digital flight control system for ultra-precise handling and advanced turbulence damping. Despite its class-leading, wider, and taller cabin, the 6X can operate from short, challenging runways like the 3,400-foot strip at Saanen-Gstaad, Switzerland.

A CLASS OF ITS OWN

Introduced as a new benchmark for business jets, the Falcon 6X features the tallest and widest cabin in business aviation today. With a range of 5,500 nautical miles (10,186 km) and a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.90, it effortlessly connects major business hubs such as London to Hong Kong, New York to Moscow, or Paris to Los Angeles.
