Dassault Falcon 2000 EX
The Dassault Falcon 2000EX has all the features that made the Falcon 2000 one of the world’s most popular large cabin jets – plus some notable enhancements. These include upgraded engines and cutting-edge avionics. Perfectly suited for transcontinental and international flights, the Falcon 2000EX provides absolute comfort for up to ten passengers. Its cabin is broad and quiet, and there’s a NetJets flight attendant onboard every flight.
History of the Falcon 2000EX
Dassault announced the Falcon 2000, originally called the Falcon X, in 1989. The development of the aircraft was carried out by Dassault in partnership with Alenia. The aircraft’s first flight was in 1993 and it entered service in 1995. Over 220 aircraft have been delivered.
The Falcon 2000 can carry a maximum of 19 passengers and has a range of 5,630km (with six passengers at a normal cruising speed of Mach 0.8).
The extended-range version, the Falcon 2000EX, has more powerful engines and extra fuel capacity, providing a range of 7,000km. The 2000EX took its maiden flight in October 2001, received US and European flight certification in March 2003, and entered service in May 2003. Over 100 2000EX aircraft are in service. The Falcon 2000EX EASy, with the new EASy flight deck, was first flown in January 2003 and received US and European certification in June 2004. Deliveries are underway.
Falcon Design
The aircraft has two rear-mounted engines. The fuselage of the aircraft is of a similar damage-tolerant design to that of the Falcon 900. Kevlar has been used for the radome, the wing root fairings, nosewheel doors, and the tail cone. Carbon fiber is used for the nosewheel doors.
Alenia is responsible for the development and manufacture of the rear fuselage section and the engine nacelles. The rear-mounted engine pods and pylons were developed by Alenia and Piaggio. The tail has carbon fiber skin panels, composite spars, and a cast titanium central box.
