Dassault, a French aviation company that requires no introduction is the father of the Falcon 7x. This aircraft is one of the best-selling private jets in the heavy jet class. Perhaps what really sets the Falcon 7x apart from other jets in its class is the 30-year fighter jet pedigree that follows it. Dassault is one of the biggest manufacturers of not only business jets but fighter jets as well, a duality that enhances the business jet side of their portfolio. It is no secret that fighter jets have to be at the cutting edge of technology at all times. This space is defined by margins as thin as a single hair and thus the motivation to keep innovating is always present, even for a very small strategic advantage. This bleeds into the DNA of the business jets as well and this is reaffirmed by the fact that the Dassault Falcon 7x was one of the first business jets with a digital flight control system.
A marriage of aggression and finesse
The digital flight control system that was directly from Dassault’s line of fighter jets awards the Falcon 7x a unique status that not many aircrafts in its class can boast of. Moreover, the range of nearly 6000 nautical miles showcases the Falcon 7x as a focused long-range jet. This marvelous machine exists at the cross-section of military-grade fighter jet technology and levels of luxury that is hard to top.
Exterior
Despite jets not having much room to maneuver in terms of their design language, the Falcon 7x still manages to introduce design elements that elevate it above the rest. The assured stance of the jet is complimented by its aggressive styling features. Many great-looking jets appear almost docile in comparison with the 7x. The length of the jet stands at about 76 feet and the height at slightly over 26 feet. The wingspan is rather hefty at 86 feet, giving it an almost eagle-like feel. The maximum takeoff weight stands at 70,000 lbs.
Interior
For all of the Falcon 7x’s fighter jet sensibilities, a look inside the cabin gives the assurance that it is still a business jet at heart. Luxury, convenience, and peace are still the values that this jet swears by most. The powerful climate control system assures that the temperature can be controlled to an accuracy of 1 degree Celsius. User-friendliness is the order of the day inside the cabin, with the state-of-the-art cabin management system making sure that the entertainment and connectivity tools at the disposal of the passenger are honed to perfection. There is the option of an on-board shower and a second lavatory as well. In fact, there are a plethora of floor configurations ranging from floorplans that can accommodate 12 to 16 people. This level of customization allows the owner to tailor the cabin to their exact needs and make sure that their satisfaction is maximized. The Falcon 7X is the best of both worlds, combining the uncompromising luxury of a business jet and the unbeatable performance of a fighter jet.
