Key Takeaways:

Dassault Aviation has launched FalconWays, an iPad-based app designed for Falcon jet pilots.
FalconWays optimizes flight routes using global wind data and aircraft-specific algorithms to find the most fuel-efficient paths, leading to reported fuel reductions of up to 7 percent and decreased carbon emissions.
The tool will debut with the Falcon 6X as it enters service, with phased integration planned for other Falcon models like the 8X, 7X, and 2000LXS/S by early 2025.

The new FalconWays tool from Dassault Aviation allows Falcon jet pilots to find the most fuel-efficient routing. One benefit—besides the cost savings involved? The reduction in carbon emissions from the lower fuel burn overall.

FalconWays uses updated global wind data, route optimization, and performance algorithms that are specific to the model. The tool will be delivered to pilots via the Dassault FalconSphere iPad electronic flight bag (EFB), and it’s compatible with both Jeppesen and Universal flight planning software.
