Dassault advances Falcon 10X test campaign as second prototype joins fleet

Dassault Aviation has significantly advanced its testing program for the Falcon 10X with the addition of a second prototype aircraft to its flight test fleet. The twinjet completed three flights since its unannounced maiden sortie on September 24th, marking an important step in the development process. Notably, Dassault refrained from publicly announcing the initial flight date, revealing the milestone only within a broader update. This strategic approach allows the airframer to gather valuable data and refine performance characteristics during this crucial phase. Engineers are currently focused on optimizing the aircraft’s capabilities as it undertakes further sorties.
