SINGAPORE—Dassault Aviation plans to formally unveil its new Falcon 10X business jet on March 10.
The event is due to be followed by a busy period of flight testing as the French aircraft maker aims to secure type certification for the Falcon 10X ahead of customer deliveries.
The rollout is likely to boost Dassault’s sales momentum for the aircraft. The company last month said in 2025 it booked 31 orders for Falcon business jets across the range of models, up from 26 in 2024. It ended the past year with a business jet backlog of 73 aircraft, down from 79 the year prior.
Dassault at one point planned first deliveries of the four-zone, ultra-long-range aircraft—and what will be its largest business jet—in 2025. The schedule was thrown off plan, though, by supply chain issues and the company’s focus on a surge in demand for Rafale combat aircraft.
The 7,500 nm-range twin-engine aircraft is designed for a cruise speed of Mach 0.85 and a top speed of Mach 0.925, while flying at a maximum certified altitude of 51,000 ft.
Rolls-Royce completed its own flight trials of the Pearl 10X flight in 2024 and delivered the first engines to Dassault the same year. The Pearl 10X is rated at 18,000 lb. of thrust and on Rolls’ Advance 2 demonstrator high-pressure core.
