Dassault Aviation delivered five more Falcons than it forecast last year while backlog grew for the French-made business jets, the latter helped by the introduction of the ultra-long-range Falcon 10X in May. In total, the company handed over 30 Falcons last year–four fewer than it shipped in 2020 and 10 fewer than it did in 2019.
