Dassault is here at the Dubai Air Show (Stand W310) exhibiting two of its latest models–the Falcon 2000LX and  Falcon 7X–the latter equipped with a second-generation enhanced-vision system (EVS). These types are set to be joined by the new Falcon SMS, with the French manufacturer last month confirming that this previously ill-defined product will definitely fill the market segment above the Falcon 2000 series when it enters service in 2016

At the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) show in Las Vegas, Nevada, Olivier Villa, Dassault’s senior vice president of civil aircraft, disclosed that the detailed design phase has begun for the Falcon SMS. More than 1,500 engineers are working on the program using Dassault Systéme’s new four-dimensional Catia design software.
