The Falcon 50 business jet is designed for long-range travel. Whether you need to get yourself or your company to a business meeting with the ease that executive jets provide, or you're in need of a relaxing private journey the Falcon 50 is the easiest thing you can do.
With a range of up to 3500 nautical miles, the Falcon 50 jet is incredibly versatile and useful as a private aircraft. The Falcon 50 will fly it in 8-10 hours and the cabin of the Falcon 50 is typically configured for eight to ten passengers but can be modified to carry as many as sixteen. It is 5.9 feet high, 23.5 feet long, and 6.1 feet wide for a total cabin volume of 700 cubic feet. It has both internal and external baggage space. The external storage compartment is long enough to fit objects as long as eight feet. The cabin of the Falcon 50 is rated to 8.7 psi and is automatically regulated. A two-zone temperature control system uses bleed air from the center engine to control heat.
The Falcon 50 was produced by Dassault, a French company known for its high-quality personal, military, and business jets as well as its great sense of design. It has a powerful three-engine layout (one of which sits underneath the tail and is central to the Falcon series of private jet planes. Developed from the mid-sized Falcon 20, but with the additional engine and more advanced wing design, it gave rise to the heavy-sized Falcon 900 private jet, which is essentially the same as the Falcon 50 but with increased capacity.
The cockpit’s avionics system comes standard with an ADC 80 air data computer, a Primus color weather radar, a Collins FCS-80F autopilot computer, and a dual VHF comm. DME, two navigation radios, and a radio altimeter are also included. Additional systems may be added as desired.
Dassault maintains a good balance between range, runway performance, and speed in the Falcon 50. With a cabin measuring more than twenty-three feet long and a transcontinental range, the Falcon 50 still manages to cruise at speeds of 468 knots. Its performance levels are high while other factors, such as its takeoff distance, remain competitive.
