Dassault Aviation on May 6 announced its newest addition to the Falcon family, the even longer range 10X. The new airplane represents the French aircraft builder’s challenge to the ultra-long-range category capable of stage lengths as long as 7,500 nm and speeds of up to Mach 0.925. Dassault believes the 10X will best its two major competitors inside the cabin, where this newest airplane will measure 9-ft 6-in wide as compared to the Gulfstream G700′s 8-ft 2-in cabin and the Bombardier Global 7500′s that measures 8-ft wide. Two Rolls Royce Pearl 10X engines delivering 18,000 pounds of thrust each will power the aircraft.
