Dassault has set out five clear and important design drivers for the jet. The Falcon 2000S shares the same external dimensions as the Falcon 2000LX but this will be no Dassault "rebranding" effort because, at its core, the Falcon 2000S is destined to be a new aircraft. The test campaign is scheduled to span 200 test flights and last until mid-2012. Furthermore, it comes with seating for 10 passengers.Īll this will deliver essential requirements for passenger comfort, including a large forward galley, a full-sized rear bathroom, an in-flight accessible baggage area, a dedicated cabin attendant rest seat, a galley/cabin dividing door, a passenger wardrobe and an advanced baggage loading system (for all those unfortunate corporate pilots who not only fly, but also have to "hump and dump" the passenger bags).įlight testing of the Falcon 2000S began in February. Of the four competing aircraft, the Falcon 2000S has the longest cabin length, at 8m (26ft), the greatest cabin width (2.5m external/2.34m internal), the largest cabin volume at 29m 3 (1,000ft 3) and the highest head height from a flat floor (1.88m). Initially it will go head to head with the likes of the Bombardier Challenger 300, Gulfstream G250 and Hawker 4000, all of which are of a similar external size. © Billypix The prototype (above)is a Falcon 2000DX reconfigured with the 2000S wingĭassault Aviation's new Falcon 2000S represents a strategy to create a new class of business aircraft.
