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 that extends its predecessor (7X) by 3½ feet, significantly boosting its range to nearly 6,500 nm and enabling more extensive cabin customization, including a dedicated crew rest area for long flights.
- It features an advanced fly-by-wire control system with passive sidesticks and comprehensive flight-envelope protection, ensuring precise handling, enhanced safety, and making it nearly impossible to stall or overspeed.
- The 8X's cockpit is upgraded with Honeywell's Primus Epic III avionics and offers an optional FalconEye Head-Up Display for superior situational awareness, while the cabin prioritizes comfort with reduced noise, lower pressurization, and increased natural light.
