France’s Dassault (Booth 2648, Static SD25) is forging ahead with its Falcon 6X program a few days after it amicably settled its dispute with Safran over the Silvercrest engine, the delay of which led to the cancellation of the 5X. “We’re currently entering the detailed design stage [for the 6X], and the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW812D [engine] certification campaign is progressing well,” Dassault Aviation chairman and CEO Eric Trappier said on Monday at NBAA 2018. First delivery of the 6X is on schedule for 2022, he added.
