Dassault Falcon 10X: The Complete Buyer's Guide
The Short Version
The Falcon 10X is Dassault’s next ultra-long-range program. First flight took place on June 19, 2026, beginning an announced two-year certification campaign. Its published 7,500 NM range and large cabin are program specifications subject to certification. Buyers should evaluate delivery timing, contractual protection and interim lift. It has not entered service, and there is no established pre-owned aircraft market.

Operational Reach
What Makes the Falcon 10X Different
1. The widest cabin in business aviation
At 9'1", the Falcon 10X is nearly a foot wider than the G700 (8'2") and over a foot wider than the Global 7500 (8'0"). The cabin height (6'8") is also the tallest in the class. The flat floor throughout means no step-ups, no compromises — every inch is usable.
2. Digital flight controls with fighter-jet DNA
Dassault builds the Rafale fighter. The Falcon 10X inherits full fly-by-wire with a smart throttle system, giving it handling precision and safety margins that conventional systems can't match. This translates to capability at airports other ultra-long-range jets avoid.
3. 38 windows — more than any competitor
Combined with the wider cabin, the effect is striking — the Falcon 10X cabin floods with natural light in a way that transforms the passenger experience on long flights.
Who Is This Aircraft For?
- ●Buyers who prioritize cabin volume above all else — the Falcon 10X delivers the most spacious cabin available in any purpose-built business jet.
- ●Dassault loyalists upgrading from the Falcon 8X or 7X who want to stay within the Dassault ecosystem with its excellent customer support.
- ●Operators with challenging airports — Dassault's fly-by-wire technology historically enables operations at airports that other large jets can't access.
- ●Early adopters who want to be among the first to operate the newest ultra-long-range platform.
When It's Not the Right Fit
- ●The Falcon 10X hasn't entered service yet. If you need an aircraft now, the G700 and Global 7500 are flying and delivering today. As a new type, expect early-production considerations — service bulletins, support infrastructure development, and unknown residual value trajectories.

The Pre-Owned Market Right Now
Market review: October 8, 2026. Industry context is based on published reporting, rather than a live aircraft inventory feed.
JETNET’s July 2026 barometer reports 6.6% of the business jet fleet for sale in H1 2026. That fleet-wide measure does not establish availability or value for this model.
Dassault began flight testing on June 19, 2026, announcing a two-year certification program. This is a development program, not an aircraft available for immediate operation or a mature pre-owned market.
Published asking prices are seller expectations, not achieved sale prices. Historical price and operating-cost estimates elsewhere in this briefing remain planning references unless a dated source is expressly identified; fuel, crew, maintenance reserves, utilization, tax and financing require an individual budget.
What to Watch For When Buying
1. Delivery Timeline Uncertainty
New aircraft programs often experience delays. The Falcon 10X's entry into service has already shifted from its original target. Confirm current delivery estimates directly with Dassault or your broker before committing to a position.
2. Pearl 10X Engine Maturity
The Rolls-Royce Pearl 10X is a new engine variant. While it shares DNA with the proven Pearl family, it has no field history. CorporateCare enrollment will be essential for predictable costs.
3. Support Infrastructure
As a new type, maintenance facility availability will initially be limited. Dassault has an excellent service network, but it will take time to build Falcon 10X-specific expertise globally.
4. Residual Value Risk
New types carry inherent residual value uncertainty. The Falcon 7X and 8X have held value reasonably well, but the 10X's value trajectory will depend on production volume, market reception, and competitive dynamics.
5. Cabin Configuration Planning
With the widest cabin in business aviation, the configuration possibilities are extensive. Plan your interior carefully during the factory process — post-delivery modifications on a cabin this size will be expensive.
Falcon 10X vs. The Competition
| Aircraft | Range | Max Speed | Cabin W | Cabin L | Pax | New Price | Pre-Owned |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gulfstream G700 | 7,750 NM | Mach 0.935 | 8'2" | 56'11" | 13–19 | ~$78M (historical) | ~$68M (historical) |
| Bombardier Global 7500 | 7,700 NM | Mach 0.925 | 8'0" | 54'7" | 14–19 | ~$78M (historical) | ~$55M (historical) |
| Gulfstream G650ER | 7,500 NM | Mach 0.925 | 8'6" | 46'10" | 13–19 | ~$70.5M (historical) | ~$25M (historical) |
Gulfstream G700
Bombardier Global 7500
Gulfstream G650ER
vs. Gulfstream G700
The G700 has a longer cabin and is in service now. The Falcon 10X counters with the widest cabin in the class and Dassault's fly-by-wire heritage. If you can wait, the 10X offers a genuinely different cabin experience.
vs. Bombardier Global 7500
Similar positioning — the Global is in service with 200+ deliveries. The 10X promises a wider, taller cabin. For buyers not in a rush, the 10X is worth evaluating.
vs. Gulfstream G650ER
The G650ER is available pre-owned from $25M — a completely different value proposition. If budget matters more than cabin width, the G650ER delivers exceptional capability at a fraction of the 10X's cost.

No. Dassault announced first flight on June 19, 2026 and the start of a two-year certification program. Published specifications and timelines remain subject to program progress.
There is no established market in delivered pre-owned Falcon 10X aircraft. A proposed factory position is a contractual delivery commitment, with different risks from buying an operating aircraft.
