Sizing up a busy week for Dassault
It has been a busy week for Dassault Aviation’s chairman and CEO Eric Trappier. He began the week by revealing a second Falcon 6X had successfully completed a test flight. He ended it unveiling the OEM’s new ultra-long-range Falcon 10X – during an online launch event at Paris Le Bourget Airport.
Due to enter service in 2025, the Falcon 10X, powered by two Rolls-Royce Pearl engines will have a 7,500-nm range and a cabin cross section larger than some regional jets. It will compete directly with the Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 for customers looking to fly further. So, what are its prospects?

380-kilometers east of Melbourne at Swifts Creek on Sunday the curtain was drawn on another successful Picnic Racing season. While the pandemic meant the circuit would start later than normal, crowds slowly filtered back and across 28 meetings over 160 races were run.
Even so, it wasn’t until the very final race on Sunday that the Picnic Trainers Premiership was decided with Don Dwyer holding on by one victory after a late season charge from Troy Kilgower.
One award however that didn’t go down to the wire was the Jockey’s Premiership whose fate was sealed many weeks earlier. In just his third season of race riding, 31-year-old Shaun Cooper won his second riders title with 31 wins to his name – 12 wins clear of Grant Secombe in second place.
