The Dassault Falcon 900LX represents the pinnacle of the storied Falcon 900 series, offering an impressive blend of range, comfort, and operational efficiency. With a maximum range of 4,750 nautical miles (8,800 km), this trijet connects major business centers worldwide while delivering 5-7% better fuel efficiency than its predecessors thanks to its Aviation Partners-designed winglets.
Powered by three reliable Honeywell TFE731-60 engines, each producing 5,000 pounds of thrust, the Falcon 900LX combines exceptional performance with remarkable fuel economy—using just 260 gallons per hour. The aircraft achieves a maximum speed of Mach 0.87 (580 knots) and cruises comfortably at 51,000 feet, well above commercial traffic.
The luxurious cabin spans 33 feet 2 inches with 1,264 cubic feet of volume, typically configured for 12-14 passengers in three distinct zones. With its 7-foot 8-inch width and 6-foot 2-inch height, the 900LX offers superior comfort for transcontinental journeys.
Military-derived systems enhance reliability, including a pressurized fuel system and robust control architecture borrowed from Dassault's fighter jets. The Falcon 900LX excels in challenging airports with a 5,360-foot takeoff distance and impressive 2,415-foot landing capability. With its EASy II flight deck, exceptional performance, and proven pedigree, the Falcon 900LX continues to set the standard in the large-cabin business jet category since its introduction in 2010.
