The Dassault Falcon 7X is a large-cabin, long-range trijet manufactured by Dassault Aviation, the flagship offering of its business jet line. It was first presented to the public at the 2005 Paris Air Show. The Falcon 8X is derived from the 7X with longer range afforded by engine optimizing, aerodynamic refinements and an increase in fuel capacity. It is one of only two trijets in production, the other being the Falcon 900. It features an S-duct central engine. The aircraft has received its type certification from both the Federal Aviation Administration and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on 27 April 2007. The first 7X, MSN05, entered service on 15 June 2007. The hundredth was delivered in November 2010. It conducted high altitude airport tests at 14, 500 ft in Daocheng in 2014. In 2001, the Falcon 7X, at approximately $35 million (preproduction order price), was nearly $10 million cheaper than its nearest competitors in the long-range, large cabin market segment, including the Gulfstream G550 and Bombardier Global Express. Its 2007 price was $41 million. In 2008, the smaller Global Express 5000 was priced at $40M. On May 2, 2014, Dassault Falcon pilots Philippe Deleume and Olivier Froment set a new speed record for the Falcon 7X on a 5 hr 54 min flight from New York Teterboro Airport to London City Airport with three passengers on board. More than 260 Falcon 7X have been delivered between mid-2007 and March 2016 and the fleet was flown more than 440, 000 hours. 117 aircraft are in Europe, 45% of the fleet.
