On the surface, 3½ feet — just over a yard — might not mean much to most people. Spread your arms out and that’s about it. But in a business jet, every inch of extra space, like every pound of weight designers can eliminate, translates into additional customer options for organizing that new cabin.
We Fly: Falcon 8X
Key Takeaways:
- The Dassault Falcon 8X is an ultralong-range business jet featuring a 3.5-foot longer cabin than its predecessor, the 7X, allowing for enhanced customization, including a popular crew-rest option and improved natural light.
- It delivers extended range capabilities of nearly 6,500 nm due to more powerful engines and increased fuel capacity, while retaining excellent short-field performance and a comfortable 6,000-foot cabin altitude at FL 510.
- Equipped with advanced Honeywell Primus Epic III avionics, optional FalconEye vision system, and a sophisticated fly-by-wire control system with full flight envelope protection, the 8X is described as exceptionally easy, precise, and safe to fly.
