Operational Context

Dassault Falcon 8X — long-range tri-engine business jet

The Falcon 8X first flew in 2015 and entered service in 2016. It features a stretched fuselage compared with the 7X and incorporates aerodynamic refinements. The aircraft retains the three-engine configuration mounted at the rear of the fuselage.

Powered by three Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307D turbofan engines producing approximately 6,722 pounds of thrust (29.9 kN) each, the Falcon 8X cruises at around Mach 0.90, approximately 516 knots (956 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 73,000 pounds (33,110 kg). Range exceeds 6,450 nautical miles (11,945 km).

The Falcon 8X is valued for its ability to operate from shorter runways compared with some competitors. Its cabin offers multiple configuration options and advanced connectivity. The aircraft remains central to Dassault’s long-range lineup.
