It’s Dassault’s latest little gem. This new model of private jet, the Falcon 10X will be the largest and most powerful corporate jet ever designed by the manufacturer Dassault. The aim of this new aircraft is to challenge its competitors, Bombardier and Gulfstream.

This is particularly true of its carbon fiber alloy, which is very resistant. It can fly transcontinental flights, such as New York to Shanghai, without difficulty, as well as to other destinations that would be impossible without a stopover with civil aviation.
The Falcon 10X promises excellence, especially with its FalconEye system, which allows it to fly in very low visibility. We also note its great interior luxury, which is promised to be extremely bright and spacious. This luminosity is possible thanks to the size of its windows, which are larger than those of the previous Falcon models, which we will see below.
