Dassault completes First Flight of Falcon 6X 11 March 2021
Dassault Aviation yesterday completed the first flight of the Falcon 6X widebody corporate jet, opening the test program that will ultimately lead to certification.
With test pilots Bruno Ferry and Fabrice Valette at the controls, the aircraft S/N 01 launched from Bordeaux Merignac airport and reached a speed of 0.8 Mach and an altitude of 40,000 feet. The 6X flew exactly as predicted by our models, Ferry said afterwards. From a pilot s perspective, it flies like a Falcon, which is to say with perfect precise handling in all phases of flight. Fabrice and I are honoured to have made the latest first flight in another fantastic Falcon.
The flight was dedicated to Olivier Dassault, who died on March 7.
The Dassault Falcon 6X claims to be the first ultra-widebody business jet in the aviation industry, with an intercontinental range projected to be 5,500 nm.
