Aircraft Review: Dassault Falcon 7X

Precision, Efficiency, and Elegance at 51,000 Feet

The Dassault Falcon 7X is a masterpiece of French engineering — combining fighter-jet technology, luxurious comfort, and intercontinental range. Since its debut, it has become one of the most versatile and reliable aircraft in private aviation.

At Jetvice, we regularly work with Falcon 7X operators across Europe and the Middle East, and it remains one of the most requested aircraft for both business and leisure charters.

Performance & Range

Built by Dassault Aviation, a company known for its military precision, the Falcon 7X was the first business jet to feature full fly-by-wire controls — ensuring smooth performance, safety, and efficiency.

• Range: Up to 11,020 km (5,950 NM) — connecting routes like Paris – Beijing, Dubai – London, or New York – Nice nonstop.

• Cruise Speed: Mach 0.80 (cruise) with a maximum speed of Mach 0.90.

• Engines: Three Pratt & Whitney PW307A turbofan engines providing exceptional reliability and flexibility.

• Take-off Distance: Only 5,710 ft — meaning it can access airports that larger long-range jets cannot, such as London City, Gstaad, or Cannes Mandelieu.

This unique performance profile allows the 7X to blend intercontinental capability with short-field performance, something few competitors can match.

Flight Deck & Technology

Dassault’s EASy II flight deck, based on Honeywell’s Primus Epic platform, offers pilots exceptional situational awareness and precision.

Key features include:

• Digital fly-by-wire system with triple redundancy

• Head-Up Display (HUD) and Enhanced Vision System (EVS)

• Synthetic Vision for improved safety in all conditions

• Advanced navigation allowing steep approaches and reduced runway requirements

This level of technology — derived from Dassault’s fighter-jet heritage — makes the 7X one of the safest and most agile long-range aircraft ever built.

Cabin Comfort & Design

Step inside the Falcon 7X and you immediately sense the blend of French design and technical perfection.

• Capacity: Up to 14 passengers, depending on configuration.

• Cabin Dimensions: 11.91 m long, 2.34 m wide, 1.88 m high — slightly narrower than its Global or Gulfstream rivals, but equally elegant and efficient.

• Layout: Typically three separate zones — forward club seating, mid-cabin dining/conference area, and aft lounge with divan or bed.

• Quietness: One of the quietest cabins in its category, ensuring peace even during long-haul flights.

• Cabin Pressure: 3,950 ft at cruise altitude, reducing fatigue and improving passenger comfort.

With bespoke interiors, handcrafted leather, and customizable lighting, the Falcon 7X cabin delivers an understated sophistication that many Jetvice clients appreciate.

Connectivity & Entertainment

The modern Falcon 7X fleet is fully equipped for the connected traveler.

• Wi-Fi Options: High-speed Ka-band or Starlink Aviation now available on many 7X aircraft.

• Cabin Control: Touchscreen or mobile app interface for entertainment, lighting, temperature, and window shades.

• Multimedia Systems: 4K displays, surround sound, HDMI connectivity, and Bluetooth streaming.

Whether for work or relaxation, passengers can remain fully connected and entertained throughout the journey.

Charter Pricing (2025 Update)

The Falcon 7X provides long-range capability at a more efficient operating cost than larger jets like the Global 6000 or G650.

• Hourly Rate: €9,000 – €11,500

• Paris – Dubai: €55,000 – €65,000

• London – New York: €95,000 – €110,000

Who Flies the Falcon 7X?

The Falcon 7X has a loyal following among discerning travelers:

• Executives & Entrepreneurs who value efficiency and access to smaller airports near key business hubs.

• Private Owners & Families traveling between Europe, the Middle East, and Asia with style and comfort.

• Government & VIP clients who appreciate discretion and reliability.

Its ability to take off and land at short, high-altitude airports makes it particularly popular for destinations such as Chambery, Sion, Innsbruck, Ibiza, and St. Moritz — where other long-range jets simply cannot go.

Comparison with Competitors

Aircraft	Max Range	Max Speed	Take-off Distance	Cabin Width	Passengers
Falcon 7X	5,950 NM (11,020 km)	Mach 0.90	5,710 ft	2.34 m	12–14
Gulfstream G500	5,200 NM (9,630 km)	Mach 0.925	5,300 ft	2.41 m	13
Global 6000	6,000 NM (11,112 km)	Mach 0.85	6,476 ft	2.49 m	13

The 7X distinguishes itself with its trijet design, short-field ability, and operational flexibility — ideal for accessing airports off-limits to most long-range twinjets.

Reliability & Ownership

The Falcon 7X enjoys a reputation for exceptional dispatch reliability and strong residual value. Many operators choose it for its lower fuel burn and reduced maintenance costs compared to its larger competitors.

Even as Dassault introduces the Falcon 8X and upcoming 10X, the 7X remains a core member of many charter fleets worldwide.
