DASSAULT FALCON 8X
Dassault Falcon 8X for sale: The Longest - Range Trijet
The 2016 Range King
If your mission is intercontinental, the Falcon 8X gives you something very valuable: fewer reasons to land.
In 2016, Dassault introduced the Falcon 8X - the longest - range trijet ever built. With 11,945 km (6,450 nm) range, the 8X could fly New York to Dubai, London to Singapore, São Paulo to London non-stop, with three engines.

Specifications That Perfect the Trijet
• Range: 11,945 km (6,450 nm): ultra long-range trijet capability;
• Speed: Mach 0.90 maximum, Mach 0.85 cruise;
• Capacity: 12 - 16 passengers in the refined cabin;
• Flight controls: Enhanced DFCS with more automation;
• Cabin: 1.88 m height, 2.34 m width - stand-up, walk-around space.
The 8X added 600 nm to the 7X's range while maintaining the same operating costs. It became the ultimate expression of the trijet formula.
A Falcon 8X has three Pratt & Whitney PW307D engines, each rated at up to 6,722 lb of thrust under the published conditions.

The Falcon 8X has a slightly unusual advantage
The 8X is a large-cabin ultra-long-range aircraft, but Dassault did not build it simply to chase the biggest range figure.
The company kept something pilots care about: airport flexibility.
The aircraft is certified to 51,000 ft, has a published balanced field length of 5,880 ft, and a typical approach speed of about 107 KIAS.
That combination is worth paying attention to.
A long-range aircraft is useful only if it can operate where the owner actually needs it.
And this is where the Falcon philosophy shows up. The 8X is a big airplane, but Dassault worked hard to keep its airport performance practical.

Three Falcon 8X facts worth knowing
- 6,450 nm is a real published mission number, not a ferry-flight fantasy.
Still, never confuse published range with your personal mission.
Headwinds, payload, temperature, routing and reserves all matter.
The flight plan gets the final word.
- The 8X can operate at 51,000 feet.
- The cabin is genuinely designed for long days aboard.
That matters after hour ten.
Anyone can make a brochure look good for a two-hour flight.
Long-range aircraft are judged differently when everybody has been onboard half a day.
The Verdict
The Dassault Falcon 8X for sale is worth serious attention if your business travel regularly crosses oceans and continents, but you still care about airport access and aircraft handling.
The 6,450 nm published range is substantial.
The 51,000 ft ceiling gives the crew plenty of operating room.
The cabin gives you genuine long-haul space.
And the three-engine configuration remains part of the aircraft's character, with the maintenance implications that come with it.
I would not call the Falcon 8X the obvious choice for everyone.
That would be salesman talk.
For the right mission, though, it is a very convincing aircraft.

FAQ | DASSAULT FALCON 8X
To buy, or not to buy?
Time is money.
Lost time costs more than the jet.

Q:
Falcon 8X, G650 or Global 6500. Which one should I buy?
Support:
The honest answer?
It depends on how you actually fly.
A bigger cabin is useless if you rarely fill it. Extra range is wasted if you never use it.
Don't buy the aircraft everyone wants. Buy the one you actually need.

Q:
Why buy an 8X when I can buy a G650 for similar money?
Support:
Good question.
The G650 gives you more range.
But more is not always better.
If the 8X already covers your mission, paying for capability you never use makes little sense.
The most expensive capability is the capability you don't need.

Q:
Falcon 8X or Global 6500?
Support:
Both are serious aircraft.
The wrong way to choose is by comparing numbers for three weeks.
Look at how many people fly with you. Where you fly. How often. And how you want to use the aircraft.
The winner on paper may be the wrong aircraft for your life.

Q:
Three engines. Isn't that a disadvantage?
Support:
It can be, depending on what you value.
More engines also mean more complexity.
There is no point pretending otherwise.
But the 8X was designed around capabilities that matter to certain operators.
The question is not whether three engines are old-fashioned. The question is whether they work for you.

Q:
Why not just buy the cheaper Falcon 7X?
Support:
You might.
The 7X can be an excellent aircraft.
But if you need the additional capability of the 8X, saving money upfront may become a compromise you live with for years.
Saving money is good. Buying the wrong aircraft is expensive.

Q:
What can go wrong when buying a Falcon 8X?
Support:
The same thing that goes wrong with any expensive aircraft.
Buy first. Check later.
Technical records. Maintenance status. Upcoming inspections. Downtime.
These details can change the economics dramatically.
Never let a beautiful cabin distract you from an ugly technical file.

Q:
Can you find an 8X that isn't publicly advertised?
Support:
Sometimes.
Not every owner wants the market to know an aircraft is for sale.
We search beyond public listings.
The best aircraft is not always the one with the loudest advertisement.

Q:
Do you disappear after the sale?
Support:
No.
Since 1995, we have worked with aircraft acquisition, operations, technical management and continuing airworthiness.
We also operate and maintain aircraft ourselves.
Selling the aircraft is easy. Living with it is where experience matters.

Q:
Why BUSINESSAVIATION.com?
Support:
Because we ask one question before recommending an aircraft:
“Would we operate it ourselves?”
If the answer is no, we'll tell you why.
That is more useful than simply telling you what you want to hear.
