A Cabin Designed for Comfort

The defining feature of the 10X is its exceptional cabin size. The aircraft’s fuselage is 8 inches wider and 2 inches taller than its nearest competitor. With room for four zones, possible layouts include an entertainment area, a stateroom with a queen-size bed, a master suite with a stand-up shower and an expansive dining/conference area.

So, they arrive feeling refreshed and at their very best.”  (Dassault Aviation, 2026)

With passenger comfort and wellbeing being central to the aircraft’s design, the 10X aims to minimise fatigue on flights thanks to its low cabin altitude, a new air filtration system providing 100% pure air and individually adjustable temperature zones. Other notable features include 38 large windows that maximise natural light and mood lighting to help passengers’ circadian rhythms and preferences.

 

Performance and Power

The 10X expands the Falcon family’s intercontinental reach with an eight-passenger range of 7,500 nautical miles, allowing seamless connections between major city pairs such as New York and Shanghai, Los Angeles and Sydney, as well as Beijing and Paris.

Boasting a remarkable projected speed of Mach 0.925, the 10X is powered by two Rolls-Royce Pearl 10X turbofan engines. These engines provide exceptional thrust, unparalleled efficiency, and steadfast reliability, enabling outstanding performance for both short and ultra-long-range journeys.
