LOOP News 11 JUL 07: FALCON FLIESDASSAULT'S new Falcon 2000DX had its first flight at the company's Bordeaux factory on 19 June. Test pilots Denis Garnier and Herve Laverne were at the controls, says Dassault, and the flight lasted 2 hours and 15 minutes. During the flight, the aircraft was taken to an altitude of 41,000 feet and exceeded MMO (mach .86) to a maximum speed of mach .89. "All systems performed as expected," said a spokesperson. "The Falcon 2000DX is designed to fill an important niche in the Falcon product line," said John Rosanvallon, boss of Dassault Falcon. "We expect a warm market reception for this aircraft and a strong future given its attractive price point and superior fuel advantage it has over the competition." The standard equipped aircraft will have the capability to climb directly to 41,000 feet in 17 minutes and offer a low approach speed of 112kt. The 2000DX has Dassault's advanced EASy flight deck. Its operating costs are estimated to be 5% less than that Falcon 2000 it replaces and the range is 3250nm. Dassault says it is the only business jet in its class capable of landing with fuel tanks nearly full. W: www.dassaultfalcon.com |                      | ||||||
