FalconWays Flight Optimization Tool Unveiled By Dassault FalconWays is a brand new route optimization tool designed to save time as well as reduce emissions by the Falcon aircraft that utilize it. The new tool, FalconWays, will be offered as a flight app on Dassault’s FalconSphere iPad electronic flightbag and is compatible with Jeppesen and Universal flight planning tools. FalconWays was evaluated over a campaign of long flights between the U.S. and Europe and across Asia, as well as in numerous simulations. During actual flights using FalconWays, crews were able to reduce fuel consumption up to seven percent.
Hold on though, as FalconWays will only be available on the Falcon 6X which recently received dual FAA and EASA certification and will enter service in the coming weeks. Then some of the remaining Falcon models will be able to take advantage of the new tool. The timeline is as follows: the app will be available on the Falcon 8X early next year, on the 7X before the end of 2024 and Falcon 2000LXS/S by early 2025.
"Our new FalconWays flight app is part our company’s broader commitment to sustainable flying" said Chairman and CEO Eric Trappier. "It will help Falcon customers reach a new level of operational efficiency while reducing aviation emission levels." For those heading to the NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas you will be able to see FalconWays. The new app will be demonstrated on the Dassault static display at the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition on 17-19 October.
