Dassault Aviation is displaying its Falcon 8X, 6X, and 2000LXS as well as full-scale models of the Next-Generation Fighter and the Falcon 10X cabin mock-up at this year’s Paris airshow. The 6X will take to the skies during the show—flown by Dassault test pilots—using a blend of 30 percent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) as part of Dassault's commitment to reach net-zero carbon emissions in 2050. The 10X will become the first 100 percent SAF-compatible Falcon when it enters service, likely in 2026 due to supply chain strains.

The Dassault static display will also feature a building dedicated to its collaborative air combat solutions and customer support services. On the military side, the Armée de l'Air et de l'Espace (French air and space force) will demonstrate the Rafale in flight.
