Aircraft profile
When is the Dassault Falcon 8X the right choice?
The Dassault Falcon 8X suits travellers who value a quiet cabin, three-engine capability and strong performance at demanding airports. Review the cabin, typical mission and practical considerations before requesting a quote.
The Dassault Falcon 8X is most relevant when its cabin, range and airport performance match the mission. Aircraft of this type were broadly produced during 2016-present. Year of manufacture alone is not decisive: refurbishment, cabin layout, avionics and maintenance status can differ significantly between individual charter aircraft.
On board
Cabin comfort and baggage
The cabin is approximately 13.00 m long, 2.34 m wide and 1.88 m high. Depending on configuration it typically accommodates around 12-17 passengers. As a practical baggage guide, allow for 12-16 large suitcases; exact capacity depends on suitcase size, shape and the individual aircraft layout.
Cabin altitude in cruise: approx. 3.900-4.500 ft equivalent. A cabin pressure equivalent of around approx. 3.900-4.500 ft equivalent helps reduce the physiological impact of dry, thin cabin air on long sectors. Passengers will generally arrive less fatigued than in aircraft operated closer to an 8,000 ft cabin.
Performance
Range and runway performance
A typical mission duration is around 10-15 hours. As a practical indication, take-off often requires approximately circa 1.700-1.850 m of runway. This is not a fixed minimum: weight, temperature, airport elevation, wind, wet or contaminated runway conditions and obstacle clearance can materially change the required distance.
This is why the same aircraft type may be ideal for a smaller airport on one mission, yet require a longer runway or payload restriction on a hot summer day with a full cabin and baggage.
