Hyderabad: Dassault Aviation presented its fleet of Falcon large cabin, long range business jets at India Aviation, India's biggest civilian aviation exhibition.
The fifth edition of this prestigious event, which opened on March 16 at Hyderabad Begumpet Airport, featured Dassault's popular 4,000 nm/7,410 km range Falcon 2000LXS widebody twinjet.
Dassault is the Indian market leader for large cabin, long range aircraft, with 22 aircraft currently in service and several more on order. This position stems in part from the Indian Air Force's long experience with Dassault fighters, whose advanced technologies, notably digital flight control, served as the basis for that on the Falcon 7X.
"We expect the country's accelerating economic growth to translate into rising Falcon sales going forward," said Dassault Aviation Chairman/CEO Eric Trappier. "No other business jet line is more suited to local requirements, whether it be in terms of cabin design, flying performance, fuel economy or versatility, than Falcon."
Dassault's popular Falcon 2000 twinjet - now approaching the 600th production mark - accounts for the largest portion of the present Indian fleet. Sales are currently being driven by the Falcon 2000LXS, the newest edition in the 2000 line, which offers a short-field capability comparable to smaller midsize and super midsize business jet models but with a range and comfort level far better than these aircraft.
This summer, the Falcon 2000 line will be certified to carry Dassault's new FalconEye Combined Vision System option, allowing the LXS and the shorter range Falcon 2000S entry level jet to be offered with this revolutionary head up display, the first in the industry to meld synthetic and enhanced vision capabilities.
