Dassault Aviation Falcon 6x

Twin Jet

The Dassault Falcon 6X represents the French manufacturer's latest entry into the ultra-long-range business jet market, certified in 2023 after a development program that saw Dassault replace the originally planned Safran Silvercrest engines with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW812D turbofans. This twin-engine flagship combines a transcontinental range of 5,500 nautical miles with a spacious cabin that's the widest in Dassault's lineup at 8 feet 6 inches, offering genuine stand-up headroom and three distinct lounge areas in typical configurations. The 6X cruises at Mach 0.85 and can reach Mach 0.90, matching the performance envelope of competing Gulfstream and Bombardier Global models while maintaining Dassault's signature handling characteristics and steep approach capability that allow access to challenging airports like London City and Lugano-Agno. What sets the 6X apart is its FalconEye combined vision system, the first certified head-up display with enhanced and synthetic vision for business aviation, giving pilots unprecedented situational awareness in low-visibility conditions. The aircraft features Dassault's advanced digital flight control system with fly-by-wire technology adapted from their military Rafale fighter program, providing envelope protection while preserving the intuitive handling that has defined the Falcon family since the 1960s. Maximum operating altitude reaches 51,000 feet, allowing the 6X to fly above most weather and commercial traffic while optimizing fuel efficiency on long sectors. SkyMeter has tracked 59 flights across 23 airframes and 4 operators, with DASSAULT FALCON JET CORP the largest observed operator.
