Dassault, in May, opened a new showroom at Le Bourget airport, where the customer is now offered 5,400 sq ft not only to see Falcon cabin interior amenities in virtual reality but also to touch and feel veneer, carpets, tableware, seats, displays, sound systems and so forth. The company sees it as a major complement to the Falcon 5X cabin mockup and the three demonstration aircraft–one Falcon 7X, one Falcon 900LX and one Falcon 2000S–housed in a neighboring hangar.
The showroom is designed to help customers make informed decisions, as choosing the numerous components for the aircraft interior needs to be done right after signing the purchase contract. The complete specification has to be delivered to the completion center–usually Dassault’s Little Rock, Ark. facility–one year before aircraft delivery. It typically takes three meetings spanning three months to define a cabin interior in consultation a customer.
