Dassault Falcon 7X specifications
Passenger figure is the certified maximum; charter cabins are usually configured for fewer. Figures are representative of the type and vary with configuration and load.
Where it fits
Three engines, fly-by-wire and a short takeoff run
The Falcon 7X is Dassault's ultra long range trijet, and the first business jet built with digital fly-by-wire flight controls and sidesticks. Dassault publishes a range of 5,950 NM at Mach 0.80 with eight passengers and three crew, which puts London to Los Angeles and London to Johannesburg inside a single flight.
The cabin is six feet two inches tall and seven feet eight inches wide, laid out in three zones, and Aviation Week reports pressurisation that gives cabin altitudes of 4,000 to 5,000 feet. Behind it sits a 140 cubic foot aft baggage compartment.
It flies on three Pratt and Whitney Canada PW307A engines. 300 were built between 2007 and 2023, the stretched Falcon 8X succeeded it from 2016, and the figures here come from Dassault's 2013 family document because no current 7X datasheet exists.
Sectors at the edge of its range, or long trips with a lot of luggage. Its 5,950 NM range and 140 cubic foot hold are the smallest of the ultra long range jets we cover, so a routing such as New York to Dubai leaves no margin. For those trips the Gulfstream G650, with 7,000 NM and 195 cubic feet, is the better tool.
Missions
What the desk books it for
Transatlantic both ways, nonstop
Zurich to New York and the return, with range to spare in either direction. The desk still plans the winter headwind on the westbound leg before it quotes.
Europe to the West Coast and Africa
London to Los Angeles and London to Johannesburg in one leg with a long haul load, with permits and handling filed alongside the trip.
The Gulf to London
Dubai to London and Riyadh to London sit well inside its range, so the day is planned around the passengers rather than a fuel stop.
The shortest takeoff run in the group
A published takeoff distance of 5,710 feet, the shortest of the ultra long range jets we cover, and a 2,070 foot landing distance at typical landing weight. Los Angeles to Hawaii is an easy sector for it.
Where it flies
Routes the desk flies on the Falcon 7X
Sectors from our route guides that sit comfortably inside the Falcon 7X's range. Each opens to the flight time, the airports at both ends and what to know before you fly.
Cabin and baggage
Six feet two, three zones and an aft hold
Dassault gives the cabin as 39 feet 1 inch long, 7 feet 8 inches wide and 6 feet 2 inches tall, for a cabin volume of 1,552 cubic feet. Up to 19 passengers is the certified maximum; charter cabins are configured for fewer, and the published range is quoted with eight aboard.
The cabin is laid out in three zones. Aviation Week reports a pressurisation differential of 10.2 psid, giving cabin altitudes of 4,000 to 5,000 feet. The layout varies by aircraft, so the desk confirms seats, beds and lavatory arrangement for the specific 7X on the quote.
The aft baggage compartment holds 140 cubic feet, the smallest hold of the ultra long range jets we cover. Tell the desk the bag count, and about golf bags, skis or equipment cases, when you enquire, because on this aircraft the luggage can decide the trip before the headcount does.
Performance and airports
Runways, approaches and the airports it opens
Dassault publishes a takeoff distance of 5,710 feet at maximum weight at sea level on a standard day, and a landing distance of 2,070 feet at sea level at a typical landing weight. Its maximum operating altitude is 51,000 feet and its maximum operating speed is Mach 0.90.
On the routes the desk flies it, that means executive airports including Teterboro, Farnborough, Biggin Hill and Geneva.
Dassault's 2013 family document states that all Falcons are EASA and FAA steep approach certified and approved for London City operations. The crew and operator still need the approval, and at Aspen the runway available on the day depends on elevation, temperature and weight, so the desk checks both for the specific aircraft before a quote goes out.
Compare the class
Falcon 7X against the other ultra long range
How the Falcon 7X lines up against the other ultra long range jets we cover. The Gulfstream G650 and G550 fly further, and the G650 and Global 6000 carry more baggage; the 7X's case is the shortest published takeoff distance of the four and three engines with fly-by-wire controls.

Chartering with Icarus Jet
How we charter the Falcon 7X
We source Falcon 7Xs from ARGUS-audited and Wyvern-certified operators, and the operator's name and audit status are on the quote. The desk checks the range against the real routing, including the season's winds, and the baggage against the real party before it checks availability, so the aircraft offered genuinely fits the trip.
Quotes are all-in and itemised: aircraft and crew, positioning, landing and handling, fuel and taxes, with nothing added after the flight that was not on the page. The number depends on where the nearest suitable aircraft is based, the dates and the airports, which is why we price your actual trip rather than publish a rate.
Questions
Falcon 7X questions the desk gets
How far can a Falcon 7X fly nonstop?
Dassault publishes 5,950 NM at Mach 0.80 with eight passengers and three crew on NBAA IFR reserves. That covers London to Los Angeles, London to Johannesburg and transatlantic sectors in both directions. Winds, temperature and weight decide the real figure on the day, and the desk plans each leg against them.
How many passengers does a Falcon 7X seat?
Up to 19 is the certified maximum, but charter cabins are configured for fewer. Dassault quotes the 5,950 NM range with eight passengers, so eight is the load the desk plans long sectors around.
Can you stand up in the cabin?
Yes. The cabin is 6 feet 2 inches tall, 7 feet 8 inches wide and 39 feet 1 inch long, laid out in three zones, so most passengers stand upright and walk the length of it.
How much luggage fits on a Falcon 7X?
The aft baggage compartment holds 140 cubic feet. That is less than the Gulfstream G650 or Global 6000, so tell the desk about golf bags, skis or equipment cases when you enquire and the hold is planned before the aircraft is offered.
Is the Falcon 7X a trijet?
Yes. It is powered by three Pratt and Whitney Canada PW307A engines of 6,402 lb thrust each. It was also the first business jet with digital fly-by-wire flight controls and sidesticks. For charter, the published range, baggage and runway figures are what the desk checks against your trip.
Is the Falcon 7X still in production?
No. 300 were built between 2007 and 2023, and Dassault no longer lists the 7X among its current Falcon models. The stretched, longer range Falcon 8X succeeded it from 2016; the desk will tell you which is available for your dates.
Can a Falcon 7X use London City?
Dassault's 2013 family document states that all Falcons are EASA and FAA steep approach certified and approved for London City operations. The specific operator and crew also need the approval, so the desk confirms both before quoting a London City departure.
