Eaton was selected by Dassault to provide hydraulic power and fuel system technologies for the Falcon 10X. The companies entered into an agreement that includes system-level modeling, validation activities, and a test rig to support Dassault’s EASA certification process for the two systems, according to Eaton.
“The Falcon 10X is setting a new benchmark in business aviation, and Eaton is proud to help make it possible,” said Armando Tellez, president of Eaton’s fuel and motion control systems division. “Our advanced technologies are designed to deliver the performance, reliability, and safety that customers expect from industry-leading platforms.”
According to Eaton, its fuel system technologies offer reduced development complexity, faster production readiness, and reduced program risk. The company previously supported ground testing associated with the Falcon 10X’s first flight, which took place in June.
“The inaugural flight is another milestone for Dassault,” said Dassault chairman and CEO Éric Trappier. “It is a reflection of the dedication and high skill of our engineering, production, and flight teams, and also the quality of our global network of partners. All of us are excited to see this day as we launch into a new phase for the 10X.”
