AIRCRAFT SPOTLIGHT:DASSAULT FALCON 6X
DASSAULT AVIATION
POSITIONS 6X
AT TOP OF
LONG-RANGE
SEGMENT
All-new aircraft designs are relatively rare in the aircraft industry. They
must offer a real advancement in the state of the art to justify the
investment. The all-new Falcon 6X does not disappoint. It is the largest
and most comfortable aircraft in the long-range (more than 5,000 nmplus/9,260
km) segment, and the most technologically advanced.
A TRUE WIDEBODY CABIN
The 6X introduces a new standard in long range cabins. With a width of
eight feet six inches (2.58 meters) and height of six feet six inches (1.98
meters), it has the largest cross section of any business jet flying. It will
be eclipsed in cabin size only by the Falcon 10X ultra-long-range jet now in
development.
The cabin is divided into three living areas, in part so that passengers on
long flights can choose a spot for rest, work or dining. The 6X can carry 16
in comfort, but typical passenger loads will be far smaller, allowing teams or
families to really spread out and relax.
Operators can customize each section according to their tastes, and also
optimize certain areas for the type of mission they will fly. Those who routinely
travel long distances can choose an extended entryway for more galley
storage space and equipment. Opposite a longer galley, operators can
opt for a crew rest area allowing a resting pilot privacy and the space to lie
flat and get some quality off-duty time.
At the other end of the cabin, operators can opt for private lounge or stateroom
configurations so that passengers can also rest peacefully and have
the privacy to change either into more comfortable flight attire or business
clothes to look sharp upon arrival.
