Dassault Design Philosophy Evident in 5X, 8X
Dassault continues to bring its unique imprimatur to new business jet designs.
Unlike the artist’s impression (right), the real Falcon 5X has yet to make its first flight, but the new jet builds on Dassault’s rich tradition of innovation and heavy investment in R&D. The twinjet, which the company calls an ‘ultra-widebody,’ features the widest Falcon cabin ever. The cockpit, like that of the 8X, will have the third-generation Primus Epic-based EAsy III avionics suite.

Dassault has never been one to follow the pack when it comes to business jets: it has been at the forefront of innovation when it comes to the use of three-engine designs, 3-D design software, metal bonding blended with composites to lighten weight, advanced wing geometry, fly-by-wire flight controls, sidesticks, the EASy II intuitive all-glass cockpit and more; the list is a long one.
