About the Dassault Falcon 8X
Aircraft overview
The Dassault Falcon 8X is a French built ultra long range business jet from Dassault Aviation. It first flew in February 2015, entered service in 2016 and remains a current production model. Developed from the Falcon 7X, it keeps the distinctive three engine Falcon layout while adding a longer cabin, more fuel capacity and extended range. For used aircraft buyers, the Falcon 8X matters because it combines intercontinental capability with the runway flexibility and handling qualities associated with the Falcon family.
Performance & specifications
The Falcon 8X is powered by three Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307D turbofan engines, each rated at about 6,722 pounds of thrust. Typical long range cruise is around Mach 0.80, with high speed cruise commonly quoted around Mach 0.85 and a maximum operating Mach of 0.90. Published maximum range is 6,450 nautical miles under standard assumptions, placing city pairs such as New York to Dubai or Paris to Singapore within its intended mission profile. The aircraft has a certified ceiling of 51,000 feet and a maximum takeoff weight of 73,000 pounds. Useful load and full fuel payload vary by cabin completion, equipment fit and service bulletins, so aircraft specific weight and balance data should be reviewed rather than relying on generic figures.
Cabin & avionics
The Falcon 8X cabin is longer than the Falcon 7X cabin and is typically arranged for about 12 to 14 passengers, with some layouts accommodating more. It offers a flat floor, multiple cabin zones, a forward or aft galley depending on configuration, and options such as a crew rest area, shower and enhanced connectivity. The flight deck uses Dassault EASy avionics, based on Honeywell Primus Epic architecture, not Garmin Perspective or G1000. Many aircraft are equipped with EASy III, synthetic vision, dual head up display options and Dassault FalconEye combined vision, depending on build standard and retrofit history.
Buying & value
On the used market, the Falcon 8X generally sits above the Falcon 7X in range, cabin volume and acquisition cost, while offering a more mature alternative to newer large cabin Dassault models. Buyers should review engine program status, airframe hours and cycles, landing gear and major inspection timing, avionics software standard, connectivity installations, cabin condition and regulatory approvals such as ADS-B Out, FANS and CPDLC. Aircraft with FalconEye, current cabin communications, recent paint and interior work, and complete Dassault maintenance history typically command stronger interest.
