The $58 Million Dollar Dassault Falcon 8X is The Ultimate Jet Experience

Dassault Falcon 8x

Dassault Aviation is a French aviation company that produces an array of aircraft that range from commercial jets to military aircraft. Dassault Aviation was founded in 1929, and over their long history they have produced many different airplanes. More recently, the company has turned its attention to private jets and business class jets with the fantastic Falcon 8X sitting as their flagship product. This $58 million dollar vehicle certainly isn’t cheap, however it is one of the best in its class. Dassault’s Falcon series contain their most popular aircraft as they combine functionality, luxury, technology, and features in a way that offers the end user a superior aviation experience. Let’s take a closer look at this fantastic vehicle.

The first thing that you will notice about the Falcon 8X is that this jet has three engines. This provides the aircraft with a few notable features. First, the Falcon 8X is considerably more powerful than other jets in its class and it can achieve a top-speed of 425 miles per hour. That’s not too bad considering the Falcon 8X is 80 feet in length an weighs around 73,000 pounds (fully loaded with people, fuel, and luggage). Another benefit of having three engines is that this jet can land or takeoff from a larger list of airports, as certain airports allow aircraft based on the amount of their engines. The really benefit of these engines is the range that can be achieved with the Falcon 8X, as they are fuel efficient. With a total range of 6,450 nautical miles on a full tank of gas, one can easily fly from London to New York, Hong Kong to Paris, and even Eagle, Colorado to Geneva, Switzerland.

Inside the jet we find cutting-edge technology that not only allows for easier operation, but more efficient performance. When you combine the onboard computer system with the jets P&W Canada’s PW307D engines, the Falcon 8X not only consumes less fuel and releases less carbon dioxide than other jets within its class, it also manages to reduce the overall operation costs of the vehicle by 35% compared to other jets. Also the plush cockpit seats are a bonus, because why not?

The interior of the main cabin is not only functional and open, but luxurious and comfortable as well. While the Falcon 8X looks pretty average on the outside, the inside is pretty amazing.

The jet can easily accommodate 12 people, not including the pilots, with plenty of room to space to spare. From the small kitchen area to the large couches in the back that can double as beds, the Falcon 8X really has quite a lot of room. Potentially buyers also have the choice of 30 different layouts to choose from for the interior, depending on their needs. The Falcon 8X from Dassault really is a spectacular example of how aviation can be efficient, yet extremely luxurious. From the amazing range that the 8X can achieve, to its comfortable cabin, it really is a class leading airplane.
