Operational Context

Dassault Falcon 7X — ultra-long-range trijet business jet

The Falcon 7X first flew in 2005 and entered service in 2007. It featured a new wing design and advanced avionics. The trijet configuration supports short-field performance.

Three Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307A turbofan engines producing approximately 6,400 pounds of thrust (28 kN) each power the aircraft. Cruise speed approaches Mach 0.80. Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 70,000 pounds (31,752 kg), with range near 5,950 nautical miles (11,019 km).

The 7X strengthened Dassault’s position in the long-range segment. Its fly-by-wire system set a precedent for future Falcon models. The aircraft remains active worldwide.
