First flight of the Falcon 6X is on track to take place by the end of this month, Dassault Aviation chairman and CEO Eric Trappier said today during a press conference outlining the company’s 2020 results. The first three development Falcon 6Xs are now completed, following the December 8 rollout of S/N 3, registered as F-WAVE.
S/Ns 1 and 2 are “heavily instrumented to accomplish all performance and systems testing.” The third aircraft is currently being outfitted with a full interior, including entertainment and communications systems, to check function and reliability. Assembly of S/Ns 4 and 5 are underway, Trappier added.
