Preparing to depart for Dubai this Falcon DX powers up on the runway at Inverness Dalcross Airport in the Scottish Highlands.
Evolved from the original long-range Falcon 900, the Falcon 900DX is just one step down from the top-performing EX. Offering all but a few of the EX’s competitive performance capabilities, the Falcon 900DX is a value at under $35 million. The Falcon 900DX was introduced in 2005 and continues to be manufactured today. Dassault modified the design of the former Falcon 900’s to create a more reliable, better performing aircraft. The frame is almost entirely constructed of carbon fiber and Kevlar (featured specifically in the tailcone, radome and cabin doors). The Falcon 900DX has a lower takeoff speed, placing more thrust accumulation near the centerline. It can climb to its initial cruise altitude (FL370) in just 17 minutes, one minute faster than the superior EX, and travel 4,000 nautical miles. The DX’s high speed cruise is 474 knots and its flight ceiling is a substantial 51,000 feet. It gains in runway requirements as an exchange for a lower maximum takeoff weight.
