The second zone features a conference-style seating arrangement, where passengers can host business meetings, get caught up on work or share a meal around an electronic, folding hi-lo table. This is because the Falcon 7X has 28 large windows - 40% larger than previous Falcon models. Travelers who have flown on older model Falcons will immediately notice how bright and airy the main cabin feels. The first zone features four ergonomically adjustable executive seats arranged club-style around foldout sidewall tables. For the purposes of this review, we’ll look at the standard floorplan configuration. The Falcon 7X is organized into three zones with a variety of custom floorplan options available, able to accommodate anywhere from 12 to 16 passengers. The galley area also includes a forward lavatory for pilots and crew members and can be closed off from the main cabin via a sliding door. Opposite the galley is capable space for a full-sized crew area, so additional crew members can rest during long-haul flights. The galley is able to accommodate everything from light snacks and refreshments to full-course dinners. Upon boarding the Falcon 7X, passengers will pass through the galley, which typically includes a spacious stone countertop, brushed metal fixtures, a full sink and other appliances. The Falcon 7X ushered in a new era for Dassault, one characterized by increased emphasis on ergonomics, cabin noise reduction and custom cabin design this new era, again, helped cement Dassault as a formidable competitor in private and business aircraft manufacturing. When the Falcon 7X was first introduced, it featured the largest cabin of all Dassault aircraft, with a 6’2” ceiling and a wall-to-wall width of 7’8”. Technical details aside, due to the Falcon 7X’s spacious cockpit layout, Sherpa-lined seats and simplistic design with three large display units, many consider it to be one of the cleanest and most attractive cockpits of any business jet on the market today. Newer Falcon 7X models feature either the EASy II or the EASy II+, which is the newest generation of Dassault’s EASy flight deck, incorporating their proven avionics platform and navigation capabilities, including the Honeywell Primus Epic System. And the jet fighter-inspired design doesn’t end there: The Falcon 7X is the first business jet in the world to be equipped with a Digital Flight Control System, which is designed to allow for more precise handling, reduce pilot workload and mitigate the effects of turbulence. The 7X is an ideal business jet for owners who wish to travel efficiently, in style and, not to mention, fast.Photo Credit: Dassault Falcon Jet CorporationĪccording to Dassault, the Falcon 7X’s EASy flight deck “changed the way pilots fly business jets.” Indeed, when the Falcon 7X was first brought to market, Dassault was a leader in using a jet fighter-style independent side-stick to control the aircraft, as opposed to the traditional - and space-consuming - control column and yoke design. It employs three upgraded engines, a fly-by-wire system and winglets. Features include lower noise levels, larger windows and advanced temperature monitoring.ĭassault has mastered the art of progression in its Falcon 7X. In addition to ample space, the cabin is the epitome of comfort. There is also 140 cubic feet of baggage space. The 1,552 cubic foot cabin measures 6.2 feet high, 7.8 feet wide, and 39.1 feet long. When stepping into the Dassault Falcon 7X, it is surprisingly similar to the 900EX, but longer. Everything can be monitored and adjusted by the LCD displays, eliminating circuit breakers and panels and increasing reliability. It features four, large-format LCD screens and integrated navigation functions (high-definition terrain displays and graphic flight planning). The Honeywell Primus EASy system comes standard in the Falcon 7X. A completely new wing design, and Dassault’s first winglets, make its long range possible, as well as 35% more efficiency than the Falcon 900. The fly-by-wire system gives pilots greater control by limiting the pitch of the aircraft. The upgraded engines also reduce cabin noise and vibration, efficient for business travel.ĭassault also improved the Falcon 7X’s design, introducing it as the first fully fly-by-wire business jet. They are responsible for the jet’s 5,950 nautical-mile range as well as its fast Mach. Each engine is rated at 6,402 lbs of thrust. The 7X employs three, not two, Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307A engines. Delivered in 2007, the Falcon 7X outperforms similar aircraft in its class, due in large part to a new engine and complete redesign. There is no better example than the Dassault Falcon 7X it flies higher, farther and faster than any of its predecessors. When an aircraft manufacturer introduces a new model, it is most likely an improved version of the predecessor. ![]()
