Singapore Welcomes the Falcon 6X to Show Site

Capable of flying up to 5,500 nm on a single load of fuel, Dassault’s Falcon 6X is the French company’s flagship aircraft, at least until its larger and longer-range sibling—the 10X—enters service in 2027. The 6X, however, is no small jet, and visitors to the Singapore Airshow can see for themselves the amenities that Dassault’s designers have crafted inside the 6X’s spacious cabin.

With a volume of 1,843 sq ft, the cabin features a cross section of 78 inches high by 102 inches wide, the widest and tallest of any purpose-built business jet now in production.

The 6X’s maximum operating speed is Mach 0.90, and at a slower speed of Mach 0.85, it can still fly nonstop for 5,100 nm.  

“We think this is a very important market,” said Carlos Brana, executive v-p, civil aircraft. “We see emerging markets now with Southeast Asia, and we brought this 6X [which] has now been in service for two years. We’re getting very good feedback on this airplane. Pilots are happy, and the passengers as well.

“With the 6X you have the range to reach Europe, Africa, and parts of the United States. Most important for local people who want to travel extensively, it’s a very good tool.”  

“The Singapore Airshow is a key opportunity for us to engage with customers across one of the world’s most promising aviation markets,” said Dassault chairman and CEOEric Trappier. “The top of the Falcon line continues to set new standards for cabin comfort and flight performance. Through our expanded MRO presence in Malaysia we are furthering our commitment to supporting the long-term growth of business aviation in the region.” z
