Dassault Aviation has completed assembly of the first Falcon 7X business jet and is aiming to fly it in March. The construction process for the Falcon 7X took just seven months, about half the time it took the company to build the first example of its current flagship, the Falcon 900EX. The manufacturer was aiming to have the aircraft powered up by the end of last month, with a view to conducting a ground run by year-end.

The company attributes the shortened design/build time to new-generation digital design and manu- facturing software, and Dassault is now so encouraged that it feels
that the development of new Falcons could be more economically viable than it would have been with older design/build tools.
