DASSAULT FALCON 2000

DASSAULT FALCON 2000

  • Passengers 10

Specifically designed for the US coast-to-coast market, the Dassault Falcon 2000 is a luxurious private jet with a transcontinental range.

About this aircraft

  • Introduced in 1989 and delivered in 1995, the Dassault Falcon 2000 is a slightly smaller development of the successful 900 tri-jet series.
  • With a maximum range of about 3,500 miles, it can fly non-stop from New York to Los Angeles and London to Istanbul.
  • Very few Falcon 2000s are equipped to fly 19 passengers. Most are configured to seat between eight and 12 people, especially for charter purposes.
  • The baggage hold has space for 12 suitcases, allowing for at least one item of luggage per passenger. There’s also plenty of storage for hand luggage on board. 
  • Production of the original Falcon 2000 ceased in the early 2000s with the release of the Falcon 2000EX, which was first delivered in 2003.

While released by Dassault as a super-midsize jet, the Falcon 2000 is more aligned with aircraft in the heavy jet class in terms of performance and charter price. The Falcon 2000 kickstarted a successful range that still continues today. Future variations and upgrades included the 2000EX (and EX EASy), 2000DX, 2000S, 2000LX and 2000XLS. All are popular charter options combining comfort, luxury and performance.

Interior design

The Falcon 2000’s spacious cabin is easy to move around during a flight. Falcons are known for their quiet interiors and the 2000 is no exception, with an in-cruise cabin volume of just 52 decibels – the equivalent of having a conversation at home or a running refrigerator.

Passengers are typically seated across two distinct cabin zones. The front usually features four large seats separated by a fold-away table and the aisle, while at the back there’s a three-seat divan and a four-seat dining area that converts into a double bed for night flights. There’s also a spacious enclosed lavatory and a sizable galley at the rear of the aircraft.

Below are two typical configurations for a Dassault Falcon 2000.

Interesting facts to learn before you fly

  • While the original Falcon 2000 wasn’t certified to fly into steep-approach airports like London City, the 2000S and 2000LXS can access the central London airport.
  • The aircraft’s quiet cabin is a notable advantage over other private jets.
  • Alternative aircraft in the heavy jet category include the Gulfstream G450, Bombardier Challenger 650 and Embraer Legacy 600.

Technological features

The Falcon 2000 is powered by two General Electric/Honeywell CFE738-1-1B engines, each offering 5,918 lbs of thrust.

Inside, it features a Collins ProLine 4 fully integrated avionics suite with an Allied Signal GNS-XES flight management system, Collins TWR-850 weather radar and dual-channel integrated avionics processor system.

History

The Falcon 2000 was originally introduced as the Falcon X in 1989, but was renamed before entering service in 1995. It was Dassault’s first private jet to be designed using entirely digital technology, resulting in improved aerodynamics and simplified systems. Production of the aircraft ceased in the early 2000s with the release of the Falcon 2000EX, which was first delivered in 2003.

Manufacturer

Dassault Aviation’s history dates back to the dawn of aviation. Marcel Bloch (later known as Marcel Dassault) founded the company following a childhood fascination with aesthetics and innovation and it went on to become one of the world’s leading aircraft manufacturers.

Following the oil shock of 1973-74 and the Iranian crisis in 1979, the global economy felt the impact of rising raw material prices. Dassault bolstered its fundamentals by developing exports of civil and military aircraft against a backdrop of increasingly fierce international competition. Today, the brand holds a special place in the industry as the only global aerospace company still owned by its founding family.

Cost

The price of a 2003-2007 Dassault Falcon 2000 is between $6.8 and $8.5 million (USD). Earlier models can cost much less.
