Just in the Nick of Time Before the French Bizjets Start Rolling Off the Line 

The Falcon 6X is now a fully Type Certificated aircraft in both the United States and Europe, following a 2-year test campaign.

Dassault was happy to put a cap on 1,500 flight hours of testing for their baby, which should see the first of its production brethren rolling off the assembly line in coming weeks. The "first extra widebody business jet" sports a 5,500-nm range and top speed of 0.90 mach, enviable numbers for the kind of clientele the high-end bizjet brand courts. 

“The certification of the Falcon 6X is a remarkable milestone for Dassault Aviation. We would like to recognize the EASA and FAA certification teams for their commitment in this demanding process and our customers for their confidence. The Falcon 6X is the first brand new business jet to comply with the latest regulations, which will enhance the safety and security of all new aircraft,” said Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation. “The 10,200 km Falcon 6X combines the best qualities of Dassault Aviation’s world-leading business and fighter aircraft expertise to create the longest-range jet in its class with unparalleled passenger comfort and maximum mission flexibility”.
