The Dassault Falcon 8X is an ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jet that builds upon the proven Falcon 7X platform with significant enhancements in range, cabin space, and performance. Launched in May 2014, the Falcon 8X made its first flight on February 6, 2015, and received EASA and FAA certification in June 2016. Deliveries began in October 2016.
The 8X features a 3.6-foot fuselage stretch over the 7X, resulting in the longest cabin in the Falcon lineup. This extension allows for increased fuel capacity and expanded interior configurations. The aircraft incorporates redesigned wings with optimized winglets for reduced drag, and a lighter structure for improved fuel efficiency. The advanced EASy IV flight deck, derived from Dassault’s fighter jet technology, includes the FalconEye combined vision system and digital flight controls for enhanced safety and precision.
Powered by three Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307D engines, each producing 6,722 lbf of thrust, the Falcon 8X achieves a maximum range of 6,450 nautical miles and a top cruise speed of Mach 0.90. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 73,000 lbs, a takeoff distance of 5,880 feet, and a landing distance of 2,220 feet. The aircraft reaches a service ceiling of 51,000 feet. The cabin measures 42 ft 8 in in length, 7 ft 8 in in width, and 6 ft 2 in in height, with a total volume of 1,695 cubic feet.
The cabin accommodates 12 to 16 business passengers across three customizable lounge zones. Layouts may include a four-seat club, conference area, divans, and an optional aft shower. Thirty-two large windows provide panoramic views and natural light, while advanced air filtration and soundproofing ensure a quiet, healthy environment. FalconConnect enables high-speed global connectivity, supporting productivity and entertainment.
Designed for global travel, the Falcon 8X delivers the performance and operating flexibility expected of a tri-jet aircraft, including superior airport access and fuel efficiency. It continues to be a top-tier choice for international operators seeking high capability with a tailored cabin experience.
