Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to commonly searched questions about the Dassault Falcon 8X, updated for September 2026.

What is the range of the Dassault Falcon 8X?

The Falcon 8X has a maximum range of 6,450 nautical miles (11,945 km) with 8 passengers and NBAA IFR reserves — the longest range of any purpose-built trijet business jet in production.

How many passengers can the Falcon 8X carry?

Dassault's own specifications list the Falcon 8X's capacity as 12 to 16 passengers depending on configuration, typically arranged across three cabin zones.

Why does the Falcon 8X have three engines?

The Falcon 8X's tri-engine configuration — three Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307D turbofans — carries forward a Dassault design philosophy shared with the 7X: extra engine-out redundancy for long overwater and remote routes, plus strong short-field takeoff performance that lets it use runways many twinjets in its class cannot.

How much does a Dassault Falcon 8X cost?

A new Falcon 8X lists at roughly $58M–$59.3M. Pre-owned examples have traded in the region of $39.9M–$50M depending on age, hours, and avionics — contact Safe Fly Aviation for current market guidance.

What avionics does the Falcon 8X use?

The Falcon 8X is equipped with Dassault's EASy IV flight deck, built on Honeywell's Primus Epic platform, and can be paired with the FalconEye Combined Vision System for enhanced low-visibility approaches.
