Dassault Falcon 2000LXS
NewAircraft Details
The Dassault Falcon 2000LXS, introduced in 2014 as a replacement for the 2000LX, represents a compelling blend of widebody comfort and midsize jet economics. This aircraft uniquely combines long-range intercontinental capability with exceptional short-field performance, making it versatile for a wide range of missions.
With a maximum range of 4,000 nautical miles (7,410 km), the 2000LXS can easily connect city pairs like Paris-New York or Singapore-Sydney nonstop. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C engines delivering 7,000 pounds of thrust each, this aircraft features Talon II combustors that reduce NOx emissions by 20% without compromising performance.
The 2000LXS excels in operational flexibility with a takeoff distance of 4,675 feet and landing requirement of just 2,260 feet - approximately 1,000 feet less than its closest competitor. It can climb directly to 41,000 feet in 20 minutes, cruises at speeds up to Mach 0.86 (533 knots), and offers a service ceiling of 47,000 feet.
Inside, the spacious cabin measures 26 feet 2 inches in length, 7 feet 8 inches in width, and 6 feet 2 inches in height, providing 1,024 cubic feet of volume. The standard configuration accommodates 8 passengers but can be customized for up to 19. Typically arranged with two distinct zones, the forward cabin features four ergonomic executive seats in a club arrangement, while the aft section offers conference-style seating around an electronic folding table. Advanced acoustical insulation creates one of the quietest cabins in its class.
The aircraft features Dassault's EASy II flight deck based on the Honeywell Primus Epic avionics suite, with options like the revolutionary FalconEye Combined Vision System for enhanced safety during challenging approaches.
At a 2024 list price of $35.1 million, the Falcon 2000LXS offers exceptional value with proven lower operating costs compared to competitors - saving an estimated $1.5 million over six years versus the Challenger 605 and $4.2 million compared to the Gulfstream G450.
