The ongoing refinement of a pioneering idea The latest in the immensely popular Falcon 900 series, this large-cabin trijet stands alone in its class for performance, comfort and efficiency. Since its inception, more than 500 Falcon 900 aircraft have been delivered, each generation refining and building on the strengths of the previous, establishing an industry benchmark for longevity, durability, reliability and long-term value retention. Capabilities that make it the leader in its class Apply the latest aerodynamic technology and advanced avionics to an already ultra-efficient trijet, and you have an aircraft that will take you places its competitors cannot, like short runways and hot-and-high airports. You also gain range and efficiency. Compared with earlier Falcon 900s, the 900LX delivers a range of 4,750 nm (8,800 km), and consumes less fuel. The advantages of trijet design While its ramp appeal is undeniable, the beauty of the 900LX’s trijet design enhances comfort and performance.

In addition to allowing a large cabin within a compact fuselage, it lowers critical speeds for safer landings and superior short-field agility. It’s more maneuverable on the tarmac, requires less hangar space – and it provides greater peace of mind and more direct routing on long routes over water.

The evolution of quiet and comfort The new 900LX features a redesigned, highly refined cabin. No detail has been overlooked, from the shape of the credenza to the style of the seats, to create a noticeable difference in comfort, convenience and connectivity. Advanced acoustical insulation makes this the quietest cabin in the 900 series. In addition, with room enough for three separate lounge areas, passengers can work, relax over a fine meal, then retire to sleep as they circumnavigate the globe. Performance that makes the world yours With High-Mach Blended Winglets extending its range to 4,750 nm (8,800 km), the 900LX crosses any ocean or continent, and sometimes one of each, traveling routes like London-Seattle with nonstop ease. It will fly you from Chicago Executive to Geneva, or just about anywhere on nearly one-third less fuel than its nearest competitor. Outstanding mission flexibitity The 900LX’s high maximum landing weight allows short hops followed by transoceanic leaps, without refueling.

Fly from Washington, D.C. To Geneva, for example, with a quick stop in New York. Or fly six from Paris to London, then on to New York, with fuel to spare.

Beyond saving time, you save money, avoiding the need to buy more costly fuel away from home For challenging fields and conditions Fueled for a 3,000 nm (5,556 km) trip, the Falcon 900LX can depart runways of less than 4,000 feet (1,219 m) at sea level and less than 6,000 feet (1829 m) in Denver-like settings a mile above sea level. It also gives you access to challenging airports, such as those at London City, Aspen, St. Moritz, Gstaad and Toluca.

Even on warm days, the 900LX delivers ample range from high elevations. A wide flight envelope The typical approach speed of the 900LX is 111 knots (206 kph), more than 10 knots slower than the nearest competitor, providing access to shorter runways and higher margins of safety on landing. At the other end of the envelope, top speed is a brisk Mach 0.87, with a typical cruise speed of Mach 0.80. Like all Falcons, the 900LX has no speed limitations in turbulence – a testament to efficient design and rugged construction. The benefits of fighter jet heritage Strong yet light, agile yet smooth, powerful yet efficient. Many of the 900LX’s finer attributes result from technology developed for Dassault’s military programs.

Like any good fighter jet, its design assures pilots of precise aerodynamic feedback, without the need for the complex supplementary systems required by other business aircraft. Handling is precise, and potential dangers are easily avoided. Many other design features, such as double-servo actuators adapted from Dassault fighters, further augment safety margins. A wing that goes even farther While highly efficient at high speeds, the 900LX wing is equally adept and well mannered at low speeds, which accounts for its impressive short-field performance. Leading-edge slats and double-slotted Fowler flaps deploy on approach. Airbrakes help with precise glide path control and add stopping power on the ground.

The addition of High-Mach Blended Winglets effectively increases wingspan and lift, while reducing span-wise airflow and drag. Other benefits include reduced stall speed, improved time to climb, and an increase in range of about 200 nm (370 km), allowing the 900LX to fly farther on less fuel. Business aviation’s most advanced flight deck The EASy II flight deck dramatically improves crew coordination and situational awareness, presenting everything from flight planning and automated checklists to the aircraft’s precise position, situation and environment through an innovative graphical interface that allows pilots to work ‘eyes up’. Dassault’s proprietary Combined Vision System, FalconEye™, now available on the Falcon 900LX, is the first head up display (HUD) system to blend synthetic, database-driven terrain mapping and actual thermal and low-light camera images into a single view, providing an unprecedented level of situational awareness to flight crews in all conditions of operation, day and night. The aircraft’s integrated airborne monitoring service, FalconBroadcast®, provides real-time notification of in-flight events and maintenance status, helping operators maximize dispatch by beginning the troubleshooting process while still in the air. The dimensions of comfort The 900LX cabin measures 6 feet, 2 inches (1.88 m) tall and 7 feet 8 inches (2.34 m) wide – dimensions that translate into easy stand-up, walk-about comfort.

With 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) of width available at floor level, the aisle is broad and individual seats offer plenty of recline.At 33 feet 2 inches (10.11 m), the cabin’s length gives you three distinct lounge areas for work, rest and relaxation, allowing you to optimize the use of your time on long-range flights. And while the 900LX typically seats 12 to 14 passengers, you will likely fly with fewer on long-range missions, so go ahead and take advantage of the adaptable seating to make up to six comfortable berths.

Quiet comfort, quality craftsmanship Quality is everywhere in the completely redesigned Falcon 900LX cabin. Furnishings are both elegant and ergonomic. Our designers have achieved astonishing results through the mixing of materials, by using wood varnished to a high gloss and buttery soft leather. Controls are neatly hidden in the armrest within easy reach, making cabin management simple and intuitive. Closely spaced windows let in an abundance of natural light.

New, advanced acoustical insulation has reduced cabin noise levels by 2db SIL. An innovative “mood” light system allows passengers to create the perfect ambiance for work, rest or dining.

After launching the Falcon 900, Dassault improved the design and introduced the Falcon 900EX in 1996, before adding the EASy cockpit in 2003. The Falcon 900 has a unique look. Like its earlier sister the Falcon 50, the aircraft has three engines. The Falcon 900EX EASy was itself improved by Dassault to the Falcon 900LX in 2010. The aircraft is capable of carrying up to 19 passengers in high-density, but eight passengers is a more typical number with two flight crew.

The passenger cabin is 33’2″ in length, 7’8″ wide and 6’2″ high. Two seats can be fully reclined and can be combined to make a full-length bed. Alternatively, the jet can be fitted with tables and can be partitioned into separate rooms for more privacy. There is a full size galley with the ability to prepare hot meals and drinks and all the seats are fully adjustable.

The aircraft needs 5,215 feet of runway to take-off and 3,522 feet to land. It has a range of 4,500 nautical miles carrying 6 passengers and can fly from Paris to Beijing, New York to Moscow, or Vancouver to Vienna non-stop. Falcon 900EX EASy production was completed in 2011. The broker’s view “Dassault Falcon’s 900 jets are known for their global service, support and three-engine reliability, and they are one of the world’s greatest internationally-capable and most fuel-efficient large body corporate aircraft. “The 2003 EASy upgrade was a flight deck change – a joint collaboration between Honeywell and Dassault – to increase situational awareness through intuitive pilot-centered design. Owners can also upgrade the EASy flight deck further to EASy II, which can include several enhancements, such as Synthetic Vision, ADS-B Out, Paperless Charts, FANS-1/A and LPV Approaches.” — Josh Mesinger, Vice President, J.
