Dassault Aviation announced Tuesday it has received European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and FAA type certification on its new business jet, the Falcon 6X. The news marks the opening of a new era for the French manufacturer, as the 6X is its largest, heaviest, and most powerful jet so far brought to market.
A two-year-long, 1,500-hour test program culminated in the approvals granted first by EASA, shortly followed by the FAA. The TC clears the flight path forward for deliveries in the coming months, with the first production units entering final completion at Dassault’s facilities in Bordeaux.
