London city bombardier global steep approach10/10/2023 ![]() The maximum speed of the 10X, though, is Mach 0.925, but Dassault isn’t giving a range estimate for those users who prefer to put the foot down than to cruise most efficiently. That’s at the 0.85 Mach cruising speed, with a high-speed 0.90 Mach option reducing range but still allowing, Dassault says, city pairs like Geneva-Singapore (5674nm), Moscow-Los Angeles (5296nm), or New York-Dubai (5951nm, all distances according to the Great Circle Mapper). Impressively, Dassault has gone the extra mile with pressurisation: 3,000 feet cabin altitude at 41,000 feet, “at least as quiet as the Falcon 8X”, which it says is “currently the quietest business jet in service”.Īnd it’s not just long in the cabin: it’s long in the legs as well, with a 7500nm range that compares favourably with even the longest range Boeing 787 (7355nm for the 787-nm for the 787-9). Suggested options include a private stateroom with queen-sized bed (a novelty for business jets of this size), a larger master suite with a full-sized shower, an entertainment area with a massive TV, an expanded dining-conference zone, and more.ĭassault breaks down the zones by windows, with what it calls the “baseline arrangement” comprising four equal 2.7m (8’10”) sections with four windows each.Ī particularly luxurious option would be an aft stateroom of 4.7m (15’6”) with seven windows plus a large lavatory with shower - which seems itself to feature at least one window for, shall we say, the more showy client. The cabin will top out at 2.03m (that’s 6’8”) high and 2.77m (9’1”) wide, which Dassault says is 5cm/2” taller and 20cm/8” wider than the next biggest purpose-built business jet, which of course wouldn’t include the Boeing or Airbus business aircraft models.īut it’s not just the size - it’s the modularity, Dassault says, with flexibility of monuments and furniture allowing almost infinitely customisable cabins for the big jet. The US$75m 10X’s arrival, planned for 2025, will give Dassault a new competitor in the large business jet segment, competing with the Gulfstream G700 and Bombardier Global 7500.Ī full 38 windows will span the 16.4m cabin of the 10X. Business aviation has seen renewed interest during the COVID-19 pandemic, and with its new Falcon 10X business jet, Dassault is answering the questions of the moment in private aviation - “how big?”, and “how far?” - with a new cleansheet design featuring a new flexible cabin concept from the French airframer. ![]()
