Falcon 900

The Falcon 900 introduced a larger cabin to Dassault’s trijet range. It combines three rear-mounted engines with a wide fuselage that can support separate passenger areas, addressing owners who wanted more space and long-distance capability than the earlier Falcon 50 could provide.

Overview

Program history

Dassault developed the 900 in response to demand for greater cabin comfort from its established business-jet customers. The first flight took place in 1984, and digital design methods and composite components played a larger role in the program. Subsequent B, C, EX, DX and LX developments refined propulsion, cockpit systems and range while preserving its basic layout.
