Dassault’s elite fleet: Here are the best jets for luxury and power

For nearly a century, Dassault Aviation has been redefining what it means to fly; whether for war or wealth. Founded by Marcel Bloch, a visionary who endured imprisonment during World War II, the French aerospace giant has grown into a powerhouse of innovation. Today, it stands as a leader in both military and business aviation, boasting over 700 patents and annual revenues in the billions.

“Innovation is in our DNA,” said Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation, in a recent interview. “Our mission has always been to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the sky.” This relentless pursuit of excellence has produced a fleet of jets that marry military-grade technology with opulent comfort.

With 23,000 employees worldwide, Dassault has not only secured contracts with defense ministries but has also captured the hearts of high-net-worth individuals. Its Falcon series, renowned for range and luxury, has sold thousands of units globally, putting it in league with Gulfstream and Bombardier.

The Falcon Legacy: Luxury Meets Performance

The journey began with the Falcon 20 in 1965, a business jet born from military expertise. Its sleek design and efficient performance made it an instant hit, selling over 500 units before its retirement in 1991. Today, the Falcon series includes models like the 900LX, which boasts a 4,750-nautical-mile range and cutting-edge cabin enhancements.

The ultra-long-range Falcon 8X, priced at $65.7 million, epitomizes Dassault’s luxury ambitions. With a range of 6,450 nautical miles, it connects cities like New York and Beijing nonstop. Meanwhile, the newly introduced Falcon 6X offers the widest cabin in its class, featuring a 5,500-nautical-mile range and a high-tech environment designed for both comfort and efficiency.

Looking ahead, the Falcon 10X, set to debut in 2027, promises to be Dassault’s most advanced jet yet. Equipped with a high-aspect-ratio carbon-fiber wing and capable of speeds up to Mach 0.925, it is poised to redefine business aviation. “We’re pushing the limits of aerodynamics and comfort,” Trappier added.

Military Roots: The Power Behind the Prestige

Dassault’s military prowess is the foundation of its civilian success. The Rafale, introduced in 1991, remains a top choice for air forces worldwide, capable of both air-to-air combat and precision ground strikes. As the only non-U.S. fighter jet certified for American aircraft carriers, its agility and advanced avionics set a standard few can match.

This military-grade technology flows into Dassault’s business jets. For instance, the Falcon 50, launched in 1976 as the first transatlantic Falcon, featured supercritical wings derived from military designs. Its successor, the 50EX, extended production until 2008, proving the longevity of Dassault’s engineering.
