UPCOMING SPOTLIGHT: DASSAULT FALCON 6X
INTRODUCTION
Powering the Falcon 6X is Pratt & Whitney Canada’s Pure®Power
PW812D engines, capable of producing 13,000-14,000 lbs of
thrust. Equipped with a low maintenance single piece fan and
emission reducing Talon combustor, the PurePower PW800 family
offers the highest efficiency, reliability and maintainability in the 10,000-
20,000 lb class. Setting a new "green" engine standard for emissions, the
engine’s low-noise design and low-vibration levels contribute to reducing
cabin noise for a more comfortable passenger experience.
CROSS SECTION
2.58 M / 8 ft 5 in
With a maximum capability of flying directly from Beijing to San Francisco
or Moscow to Singapore, the 6X has a top speed of Mach 0.90 and a
maximum range of 5,500nm. At its long-range cruise speed of Mach 0.85,
the 6X can also connect Paris to Beijing or Los Angeles to London.
1.98 M / 6 ft 6 in
The Falcon 6X can now land with much more fuel than most competing
aircraft, allowing operators to make short stops at interim airports
without having to refuel. Additionally, the twinjet is certified for steep
approaches attributed to its new generation and ultra-efficient wings,
which optimize landing on short runways with difficult approaches.
• Configurable seating designs
2.18 M / 7 ft 2 in
With one of the largest cabins of its class, passengers can travel on the
6X in comfort and style. The aircraft’s cabin is six feet, six inches (1.98
m) high and 8 feet 6 inches (2.58 m) wide — the highest and widest
cross section in a purpose-built business jet – and is 40 feet 4 inches
(12.3 m) long. It can accommodate up to 16 passengers in three distinct
lounge areas, with room for multiple configurations including a large
entry way/crew rest area and a spacious rear lounge.
Every element of the cabin’s design has been meticulously rethought, the
result of an extensive survey of customer tastes and inputs from Dassault
Aviation’s own in-house Design Studio. Significantly more natural light
floods into the cabin thanks to 30 extra-large windows including a unique
galley skylight – the first in business aviation – designed to provide
additional brightness in an area usually devoid of natural light.
While the most attractive highlights of the 6X include its range and
cabin size, 6X owners and operators can also enjoy the extensive
global support network backed by Dassault Aviation. Reduced
maintenance costs, thanks to Dassault’s FalconCare program,
not only allows for budget predictability but provides extended
maintenance intervals. Complementing the aviation giant’s
widespread authorized service centers located in Beijing, Shanghai,
Hong Kong, Singapore and many other locations is its 24/7 customer
service with over one hundred field service reps. With the acquisition
of the MRO network of ExecuJet, expanding Dassault’s support
footprint throughout the Asia Pacific, Africa and Middle East regions,
there is now more support than ever before.
