Dassault Set to Deliver 500th Falcon 900 business jet​

Dassault Falcon’s 500th Falcon 900, a Falcon 900LX, is in final assembly in Bordeaux-Merignac (France), marking yet another significant milestone for one of the world’s most popular families of business jets. This Falcon 900LX, which will initially serve as a demonstration aircraft, is scheduled to be handed over in early summer 2013. Twenty Falcon 900LX’s have been delivered since the latest version of the storied large cabin tri-jet line was certified in July 2010. Originally conceived in the 1980s, the Falcon 900 was the first - and remains - the only, airplane in its class with a three engine design, which offers unmatched airport performance and margins of safety, especially on long, over-water flights.

The Falcon 900 features a comfortable cabin width of seven feet eight inches and a cabin height of six feet two inches. Standard layout permits three seating areas and a large baggage compartment accessible while in-flight. The roomy proportions of its cross section became so popular it was adopted on the Falcon 2000 family and the all new Falcon 7X.

“The Falcon 900 family has thrived for so many years because of its versatility, comfort, performance and fuel efficiency,” said John Rosanvallon, President and CEO of Dassault Falcon. “The interior has always been highly regarded as one the most spacious and comfortable in its class.” Since its first flight in September 1984, the Falcon 900 has accumulated over 2.6 million flight hours.
