Dassault Falcon 8X: A Trijet Honed To Perfection
Monday, October 28, 2019 at 12:43PM | Business & Commercial Aviation
Dassault Falcon Jet
Falcon 8X operators are virtually unanimous in saying that the Dassault flagship is a substantial improvement over the smaller Falcon 7X. It flies higher, farther and more fuel efficiently. It’s more spacious inside and even quieter. It can be optionally equipped with high-speed Ka-band satcom connectivity, a larger, more functional galley and a full-length crew rest area. And its third-generation EASy III flight deck, FalconEye HUD/EVS/SVS and refined digital flight controls reduce pilot workload and improve situational awareness.
“It’s the 7X finally, fully complete,” says John Olesen, vice president for design, development, test and evaluation at Air Alsie in Sønderborg, Denmark. With five 8X aircraft, six 7X jets and seven Falcon 2000-series aircraft, Air Alsie has become the largest Dassault Falcon operator in Europe.
“It’s a very refined version of the Falcon 7X. There’s such a remarkable difference. It’s better in almost every way,” says the chief pilot for a Fortune 100 company...
The Next 500-Kt. Race Is ON
Monday, October 21, 2019 at 12:32PM Business & Commercial Aviation
The latest Dassault trijet, the Falcon 8X, is building ever stronger brand loyalty, an important asset for the planemaker’s future since Bombardier and Gulfstream have garnered so much attention with their 500-kt. flagships. Such allegiance buys time for Dassault to refine the design of any future Falcon superjet and make it competitive with the best from Montreal or Savannah, Georgia.
The Falcon 8X is highly competitive with...

Tuesday, October 15, 2019 at 3:19PM | Business & Commercial Aviation
Beechcraft King Air 350i, the second-generation Model B300, is significantly quieter, more comfortable and more capable than the original aircraft. It’s been in production since 2009 and more than 440 units have been delivered, including 35 to launch Wheels Up, the model’s launch customer.
The 350i features triple-layer skin panel insulation, dynamically tuned vibration dampers, thicker thermal insulation and an acoustically isolated interior shell. The package is tuned to sop up noise at 1,500 prop rpm, reducing the interior sound level by 4 dB, resulting in a 78-dB cabin in cruise.
There are six 115 VAC outlets in the cabin and one more in the cockpit. A Collins Venue inflight entertainment system is standard...

Business aircraft manufacturers are typically tight-lipped about their next new aircraft and save product announcements for major aviation shows, such as the upcoming NBAA-BACE convention in Las Vegas in October, said analyst Brian Foley with Brian Foley Associates.
But “through deduction and observation, one can make a good guess as to what their next products could be,” Foley said.
Here are Foley’s predictions:
Gulfstream Aviation is likely motivated to build a successor to the aging G650ER flagship for two reasons, he said. First, Gulfstream has not historically allowed any competing product to have an edge for long. But Bombardier’s new Global 7500 “outshines”...
