blending synthetic, database-driven
terrain imaging and actual thermal
and lowlight camera images into a
single view, which Dassault says
provides “an unprecedented level of
situational awareness to flight crews in
challenging weather conditions and all
phases of flight”.
As well as increased headroom, pilots
benefit from 30% more window space

giving them a clearer view outside of

the aircraft.

Global Reach

The Falcon 6X will boast a 5,500

nautical mile range (10,186km), 300nm

(556km) further than the 5X or any

other jet in its category. It will be able

to connect Los Angeles to Geneva,

Beijing to San Francisco or Moscow to

Singapore at long-range cruise speed –

while cruising at Mach 0.85 it can link

New York to Moscow, Paris to Beijing

or Los Angeles to London.

Like the rest of the Falcon portfolio,

the jet will be certified for operations

at London City (LCY) as it is 5.5° steep

approach compliant as well as meeting

the airport’s noise restrictions. It

will also be able to land at other

The PW812D is signifi-

cantly heavier than the

Silvercrest, leading

Dassault to insert a 20in

(51cm) plug in the fuse-

lage, forward of

the wings, to balance

the weight gain.

The 6X can connect

major city pairs around

the world, such as Hong

Kong and Paris.

“The industry has

been moving towards

ever wider and higher

interiors, and customers

told us what they wanted

most in our new Falcons

was more space...”
