Key Takeaways:

Dassault's FNX is a new ultra-long-range business jet, scheduled for first flight in 2004, designed to be the company's fastest and most modern, competing with the Gulfstream V and Bombardier Global Express.
A key differentiator for the FNX is its unique three tail-mounted engine configuration, offering enhanced redundancy, freedom from twin-engine flight restrictions, and superior short-field performance.
The FNX will be the fastest Falcon, capable of regular Mach .85+ operations thanks to an all-new composite and metal wing, and will feature advanced technologies like fly-by-wire flight control and a new Honeywell "Intuitive" flight deck.
