This should be another good Falcon Jet!!!

DASSAULT LAUNCHES FALCON 900DX...
Attempting to fill a niche between its Falcon 2000EX and 900 EX models, Dassault Aviation this week announced the Falcon 900DX, a large cabin tri-jet powered by three Honeywell TFE-731-60 turbofan engines. The engines, rated at 5,000 pounds of thrust at sea level, will give Falcon 900DX operators 1,120 pounds of cruise thrust at 40,000 feet at Mach 0.8. According to Dassault, the Falcon 900DX is based on the wide-body design of its long-range Falcon 900EX EASy but with a lower purchase price. The Falcon 900DX will be equipped with Dassault's EASy flight deck, using avionics technologies developed jointly with Honeywell. EASy is based on Honeywell's new Primus Epic integrated avionics architecture and features four 14-inch Primus Epic screens in a T arrangement for optimum crew coordination. The first EASy flight deck was certificated in late 2003 on the longer-range 4500-nautical-mile Falcon 900EX. Additionally, its operating costs are projected to be 5% lower than the Falcon 900C it replaces. Certification and first deliveries of the new aircraft are scheduled for December 2005.

Where did you hear this..?? I would like to find some info on it. I thought that Dassault was putting all their effort into the 7X.... Also.... Got to fly the EASy cockpit at Flight Safety Teterboro... Its unbelieveable! If anyone is in Teterboro you should go check it out!

First place was the NBAA weekly update. Second was Dassault's website. Third was current issue of BCA. Not much to concentrate on. They're dropping the 900C, taking a 900EX and reducing available fuel, thus the shorter range. I'm sure there are a few other differences, but those are the high points.

Going to school soon on the 2000EX EASy. Can't wait! Have to change my screen name to EASy Flyer! (dear Admin...any chance of a trade mark on that )
