Dassault Falcon 900 - trijets forever

[@elcheapo5302]

I fly a three engine Falcon. I used to fly Hawkers and Gulfstreams. They all have their pros and cons. The Falcon flies the nicest and has excellent runway performance but that giant empennage makes them a bit of a handful in a gusty crosswind, especially with the long, low wing. Fun fact: The 900 uses the 50's wing.

[@jdean2131]

Very Cool!

[@toodlepop]

i have long thought the falcon 50 (including the EX) was one of the prettiest planes, even among other business jets.

[@jonathanrobinson7573]

My dad worked in corporate aviation with Falcons, Lears, Citations, Challengers, and Gulfstreams. A lot of the owners and pilots who have to regularly fly over the big oceans due appreciate the 3rd engine despite some of the downsides such as maintaining an “extra” engine.

[@DrVictorVasconcelos]

I suppose that's one of the better downsides when you're flying over the ocean.

[@parimal7528]

Yet it was more fuel efficient than 2 engine jets.

[@Chris_at_Home]

I worked for a large communications company and the 3 top people in that company came to my worksite in the Arctic. I asked the CEO about all 3 of them being on the plane together and he told me they only fly together if they were in a 3 engine jet. The Falcon had about the same footprint of a 737 but with a narrower fuselage. My first thought was most accidents happen during takeoff and landing and the number of engines doesn’t make a difference.

[@minhpham-yh9qn]

@@Chris_at_Homethe validity of that statement just nulls out the other ones. I was told most accident happen at take off and landing so most people with multi engine just slam into the crash site faster

[@clownhands]

A catastrophic failure of engine 3 can disable both hydraulic systems and short both electrical buses. Modern dual engine planes are more resilient.

[@tonylam9548]

There is an old joke in the piston era, about how many engines you need to be safe. The engineer tapped the captain on the shoulder and report engine number 24 failed, and the captain asked...........on which side?? Even with 4 engines, one Connie was almost dragged into the sea by a prop that refused to be feathered. The captain saved the plane by his idea of cutting off the oil to the prop and caused the shaft to seize and break. I doubt in today's glass cockpit, the pilots have controls of such fine details.

[@TheWholeTruth_333]

Owners love the idea of having a third engine - especially when performing a crossing. In the case of the 900, the performance is so-so versus a Global, Gulfstream or the 2000 (with the Pratts). Great looking airplane, but honestly if I were an owner, I'd choose the 7X for the updated engines and performance. Just my .02

[@schietdammer]

But you can buy the 7x only on the 2nd hand market, the 900 the same story. On the dassault website you can order a new 900Lx and 8x. So i guess you meant 8x not 7x.

8x can land on a small airfield like aspen usa , the 10x can not (it weighs more then the 100.000lbs allowed + wingspan is more then the 95feet that is allowed). I hate to drive from a big airfield (10x) to my destination which has a smaller airfield next to it where an 8x could have landed. So the 10x is OUT that leaves the 6x, it can do aspen BUT only has a range of 10.186km (the 8x 11.945km) + the 6x uses more fuel per km then the 8x. SO more fuel burn and less range.

Interesting video but, as a Frenchman, I'm a little bit annoyed when I hear continuously that the French are doing everything differently. You can't refrain from making this kind of cheap and tiring joke even if you don't mean anything ... Well if it's true, then the rest of the world is wrong 😉 You should try to take interest in some French culture to understand better the mindset and avoid saying "Dassew" instead of "Dasso". Anyway no need to be fluent in French since the name Dassault is quite well known in aviation, isn't it? I should maybe consider to pronounce English names using French codes🤔. It might be hilarious ... For history: as shown at 1:11, the first jet of this business jet "family" was named "Mystère 20" since it was more or less an homothety (wings and tail-unit) of the "Mystère IV", a French fighter jet of the 60's. It has been renamed "Falcon 20" to make it easier to penetrate the US market and it worked. From then on all Dassault business jets are "Falcons" ... No hard feelings. Regards

[@peterallen3105]

Why do you need 3 engines? Are they undependable ? Most airliners now have just 2 engines. Falcon 10 was the best for the French, a tank in the sky.

[@tonylam9548]

The ETOPS considerations been less important by operating costs considerations. Twin engined planes had to be more powerful to meet FAA single engine climb requirement. When an engine of a twin failed, you lose by your figures about 50% of the power, but in real life, is actually closer to 60% , and the 3 engine about 40%, because not only the failed engine is not working, but is dead weight and drag and you cannot feather the first stage fan. Also, recent decades of engine failures have taught the industry it is not so much how many engines you have , but how it failed. Jets sometimes failed by exploding and one such explosion of an L1011 cut all three hydraulic systems, and the A380 engine failure damaged other vital systems, luckily it happened close to an airport, then there was the Airbus with a fuel leak over the Atlantic.

[@adrianrubi5012]

Is this one of those business jets that are Single Pilot certified?

[@superskullmaster]

Actually a twin loses more like 60-65% of the relative thrust because of the drag the rudder deflection causes.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

What? No. 😂

[@danielrose1392]

Not sure where you got these numbers from, but it's definitely not that bad for rear mounted jet engines. One advantage of this mounting position is a minimal leverage for the engine so asymetric thrust barely moves the plane. Worst are short and slow twin propeller planes. In these planes Those planes sometimes have a Vmc far above the (twin engine) stall speed. If you fly slower and an engine fails, you gut a huge problem. Depending on the type your rudder will cause too much drag and you can't accelerate without loosing altitued, or at full deflection of your rudder you won't be able to fly straight ahead. So yes, if you can't even use full thrust of your remaining engine, you are quickly left with very little thrust.

[@superskullmaster]

@@danielrose1392 for sure a rear mounted twin will be much closer to 50%, I was speaking about something like a 757, 767 or 777 that is is heavily loaded

[@dougball328]

His explanation of loss of engine on takeoff is flawed. The certification requirements are such that with one engine out, a twin has a greater climb gradient capability than a tri, and a tri is greater than a quad. So you have greater excess thrust, one engine out, on a twin. All due to the way cert requirements drove the design.
