Inside The $75 Million Dassault Falcon 10X Private Jet
0:00 - Intro
This is the Dassault Falcon 10X, the aircraft that is poised to redefine the very essence of business aviation. Here is everything you need to know about the Dassault Falcon 10X.
0:53 - Cabin
Stepping into the Dassault Falcon 10X cabin, the cross-section measures 9 feet 1 inch or 2.77 meters in width and 6 feet 8 inches or 2.03 meters in height, and can accommodate up to 19 passengers, which gives the Falcon 10X one of the largest cabin dimensions among purpose-built business jets.
Adjacent to the cockpit is the crew rest area, which offers ample storage options, both above and below the bed.
The galley area is designed to resemble a high-end kitchen, complete with a large countertop and extensive storage options.
Moving on to the main cabin, you'll find 4 individual seats in the forward area.
The design team has opted for sustainable materials and has strategically placed veneer in specific areas to emphasize luxury.
The cabin's layout is highly customizable. The 38 windows measure 24 x 16 inches or 60 x 40 centimeters, and allow the natural light to reach every corner of the cabin.
Employing a next-generation environmental control system, the 10X allows for individualized climate zones throughout the interior.
During a flight at 41,000 feet, the cabin altitude remains at 3,000 feet.
The cabin entertainment system features Falcon Connect, an all-in-one entertainment feature with loads of apps and services to choose from, and offers high-speed internet, real-time TV streaming, and a customizable array of audio-visual options. Additional features include Inmarsat, Data Link, L-band, Iridium Classic, and Jet ConneX Ka-Band
Further back, you'll find a small lounge equipped with a two-passenger divan. The aircraft also offers the option of a bedroom at the back, featuring a two-place bed.
And finally, the lavatory is spacious and comes with the option of a shower, which is designed to allow for at least 3 15-minute showers, and the vanity offers additional storage.
5:07 - Cockpit
As you step into the Dassault Falcon 10X cockpit, you're immediately struck by the layout, which has been meticulously designed to offer a superior working environment for pilots.
The cockpit is equipped with 4 large screens. In addition to these, there are 4 smaller touchscreens that are fully interactive. These screens offer a dual-mode operation; they can be operated via touch or through a new Cursor Control Device New Generation.
The cockpit also introduces the concept of "Open World," which allows for the integration of external applications directly into the cockpit environment.
The cockpit is designed for two-pilot operation, however, it features what Dassault calls "extended multiple operation." This means that during low-workload phases, one pilot can recline their seat to a fully flat position to rest.
Another noteworthy feature is the single throttle control for both engines, which was inspired by Dassault's experience with the Rafale fighter jet.
The cockpit also features dual Head-Up Displays that are now considered primary displays. The HUDs also incorporate FalconEye technology, which provides an enhanced visual representation using infrared and digital terrain mapping.
The Falcon 10X employs side-stick controls.
