Falcon 5X

[JJET44]

Anybody have any info on the Falcon 5X?
All I know is that it's going to be the size of the 20 with the 7X's technology.

No doubt it will be like the other Falcons and out perform the Legacy!

Seriously, Falcon needs to come up with a replacement for the 50ex.

Cheers- Rum

I'd much rather see a 7X defivative with a 900 length cabin and two engines. 7X systems and a 4000-4500 nm range.

That would be perfect if it was 4500 nm @ .80.

From a online article:

"A lot has happened since then. In June 2007, everyone was surprised when Dassault opted for the RB282-3 for its new–unnamed and not yet launched–super-midsize jet. The decision made propulsion history as it was the first time the French airframer had chosen UK-based Rolls-Royce to supply the power for one of its business jets.
Dassault’s selection of the Rolls-Royce RB282 marked the launch of a new range of two-shaft engines spanning the 6,000- to 30,000-pound-thrust range, aimed at “business jets and single-aisle commercial aircraft.”
For “confidentiality and competitive reasons,” Rolls-Royce is not revealing details of its all-new RB282. However, it appears certain that the new engine will feature technology from the Vision 10 advanced development program, which will include a forward-swept fan and an all-new core. It is being designed in the company’s engineering centers in Dahlewitz, Germany, and Indianapolis, Indiana, and will be assembled in the U.S. in a new facility under construction in Virginia, due to open at the end of 2009. "

This is a 10,000 lb thrust engine. I would expect
MGTOW of about 53-55,000 lbs. Range 4000-4500 nm. This is the super midsize market.

This sounds closer to a large cabin acft.

The CL-300 is a 3100nm, 37,500lbs MTOW, 6500lbs thrust acft. That is super-midsize.

The CL-60 (604) is a 4100nm, 47,600lbs MTOW, 8730lbs thrust acft. This is closer to what your saying so it would be a large cabin acft.

OMG, you weren't kidding!!

How in the hell do you put 20,000lbs of thrust on a Super-mid size airframe.
The article does mention something about it being a centerline thrust engine. Does that mean that it's going to be a single engine airplane?

The rumors are it's a .95 mach airplane. Dassault is tired of the Citation X. They proved the technology with the 7X, and FWB has tighter margins for mach buffet so the mmo can be closer to the transonic mach number. Supposed to be a .90 cruise airplane...

Ever see the video of the Dassault Test pilot who takes the Falcon 50 up to .95M and than deployes the airbrakes?

SMOOOOOOTH!!!

Just saw it in my initial @ FSI.

Man the Falcons are overbuilt.

I saw a video of a 20 doing steep turns at m.95. falcons are tanks!
