In the illustrious world of private aviation, the Dassault Falcon 900 emerges as a true pioneer, marking Dassault’s entry into the heavyweight private jet arena. Dassault, a company renowned for its unwavering commitment to engineering excellence, structural precision, and technological innovation, took a significant leap forward with the Falcon 900.

Step aboard, and you’ll immediately be awestruck by the Falcon 900’s expansive cabin, measuring 6.2 feet in height, 7.7 feet in width, and stretching to an impressive 39 feet in length (excluding the cockpit). This cavernous space boasts a total volume of 1,267 cubic feet, setting the stage for an exceptional journey. The standard seating configuration comfortably accommodates between eight and twelve passengers in a double-club layout, complete with a three-person divan. Notably, two seats can seamlessly transform into a full-length bed, offering unparalleled comfort. Every seat in this luxurious haven is fully adjustable, featuring a range of movements, including track adjustment, swivel capability, and recline function. Console tables come standard, and there’s ample room to accommodate various equipment, from computers and copiers to scanners and televisions. Even with the seating and tables, there’s abundant space for leisurely strolls through the cabin.

Prepare to be impressed by the full-sized galley, thoughtfully equipped for hot meal preparation with a high-temperature oven, microwave, and the indispensable coffee maker. The interior offers a plethora of configuration options, including wheelchair accessibility and partitioned rooms, which can be transformed into a private office with a full-sized desk or a cozy bedroom with a queen-sized bed. The aft baggage compartment, with a storage capacity of 127 cubic feet, is both pressurized and air-conditioned, and it can be conveniently accessed in-flight. With remarkably low sound levels and even temperature distribution throughout the cabin, your journey promises to be serene and comfortable.

The Falcon 900’s ability to take flight is equally remarkable, with a takeoff requirement of just 5,300 feet at sea level, or 8,095 feet at an altitude of 5,000 feet with a temperature of 77°F. This exceptional performance is attributed, in part, to its trio of Honeywell TFE731-5AR-1C engines, each flat-rated to an impressive 4,500 pounds of thrust. The Falcon 900’s agility on short runways can also be attributed to its light yet robust frame, crafted from titanium, Kevlar, and carbon fiber composites, a combination that optimizes strength while minimizing weight.

For journeys that span continents and oceans, the Falcon 900 boasts a long-range mission capability of 3,900 nautical miles at a cruising speed of .75 Mach, or 3,263 nautical miles for high-speed travel at .85 Mach. Its maximum range extends to an impressive 5,180 miles. This versatile jet can soar to altitudes as high as 51,000 feet and maintains a cabin pressure equivalent to sea level even at 25,300 feet, ensuring passenger comfort throughout the flight.

Navigating the skies, the Falcon 900 relies on a Rockwell/Collins avionics system, complete with dual Honeywell/Sperry WR-800 Flight Management System (FMS), Inertial Reference System, and Air-Data systems. Standard features also include a Smiths magnetic compass, emergency attitude gyro, and dual Baker M-1045 audio systems.

In every aspect, the Dassault Falcon 900 stands as an impressive testament to private aviation excellence. With a range that extends over 3,000 miles, a cabin that defines luxury, and an innovative three-engine configuration, it stands as a coveted private jet, ideally suited for transcontinental and transoceanic adventures, offering unparalleled versatility in flight planning.
