It’s been 45 years, since the company Marcel Dassault, created his first Executive plane. It is time to review the history of the Falcon. It all began in 1963, when Charles Lindbergh visited the Avions Marcel Dassault, as part of a team sent by Pan American Airways Inc. Mundial, to search for a business jet. Lindbergh, had very positive impressions about the Mystere 20 and transmitted them to the then President of Pan Am, Juan Trippe. It was in 1954, when Dassault begins to devise an aircraft capable of breaking the two engine models. Thus, in 1961, the Mystere 20 was under review; a ten passenger airliner with speed motor cruiser, designed initially for European connecting flights. In it, Dassault, tested technical solutions applied in military aircraft, with their own funds.
From that recommendation, Pan Am was established in the market and supported the Falcon 20, then known as admirers of the jet Falcon. As sales grew, the need for an agreement between the manufacturer and its marketing organisation, became apparent. And in 1972, Dassault and Pan Am, founded the company Falcon Jet Corporation. The Falcon 50, born in 1979, as the first jet of civilian use with carbon fiber parts.And just one year later, Dassault buys Falcon Jet Corporation to Pan Am, to launch in 1983, the Falcon 900, first Executive trijet wide cabin. Since the launch of the first Falcon 20, in 1963, they have flown nearly 2,000 Falcon to more than 65 countries around the world. Currently, the family Falcon, is comprised of five different airplanes, all located at the top of the business market: 1. Falcon 900DX: gifted by three motors, is ideal for extended over-water flight. In addition, its fuel consumption and direct operating costs, are lower than competition twins.
He received certification in October 2005. 2 Falcon 7 X: Dassault decided to establish new patterns in the industry of aviation with the Falcon 7 X; which has a completely new wing and an important increase in the elevation of the ratio and the drag. Each is powered by three engines Pratt & Whitney Canada 307A, valued at 6,400 pounds of thrust and is the reactor company, for the first time in the digital world, equipped with flight control system. He received the certification on April 27, 2007 and more than 230 aircraft, have already been sold in 33 countries. 3 Falcon 2000DX: it has the ability to upload directly to 41,000 feet at 17 minutes and offers a rate of descent of 112 knots, perfect for short field landings. The first Falcon 2000DX, landed in early 2008. 4 Falcon 2000LX: your rate of ascent is 41,000 feet in 18 minutes, but has the lowest fuel consumption in regards to commercial reactors. Both received EASA certification, as the FAA in April 2010. 5 Falcon 900LX: after initial tests, the aerodynamics of the wing improved by a reduction in the resistance of up to 7%. It is capable of linking London and Miami, New York and Sao Paulo, Bombay and London, certification has been achieved in the middle of this year. Developed mainly for business people, the Falcons have also shown, their performance and reliability in non-corporate roles, serving functions military and Government as VIP transport, aerial photography and mapping platforms. Today, Dassault Falcon Jet, is responsible for the aviation industry in the North, South and Central America, as well as in Asia and the Pacific basin.
