What is distinctive about the Falcon 50?

It is part of Dassault's three-engine business-jet line. The cabin is arranged for private group travel, with separate seating areas that can be used for conversation, work and rest.

Does the three-engine layout determine the interior?

No. The aircraft's engine layout is separate from its cabin completion. Seat groups, divans, service facilities and sleeping arrangements depend on the particular Falcon and its interior.

Is there room for separate activities onboard?

A larger business cabin can provide more than one seating area, allowing conversation or work in different parts of the aircraft. The actual partitions and furniture determine how much privacy those areas offer.

What should I check if everyone has a large suitcase?

A guide figure for baggage space is about 3.25 cubic metres. Ask the operator to check the actual cases or equipment. Compartment volume alone does not establish whether an item will pass through the hatch or leave room for the rest of the party's bags.

Can it complete our route without a fuel stop?

The useful answer comes from the operator's plan for the actual party, bags and route. More passengers or baggage can reduce the fuel that can be carried, while winds and reserve requirements can also change the result.

Can passengers stand upright in the cabin?

The quoted cabin height is about 1.8 metres. Taller passengers may need to stoop when moving through the aisle; seat comfort and headroom should be judged separately.

Can the cabin be used for sleeping on an overnight flight?

Some layouts provide convertible seats, divans or a dedicated rest area. Ask for the actual sleeping plan: daytime passenger capacity is not the same as the number of comfortable sleeping places, and privacy depends on the completion.

Falcon 50 Description

Dassault Aviation created the Falcon 50 to be able to complete intercontinental flights, and still maintain a short takeoff distance and a roomy cabin. At the time of its completion, it was the first private jet on the market with intercontinental range. Its range/payload capacity is pretty impressive, even years after its release – it can carry eight passengers 3,020 miles (2,625 nautical miles) at a speed of .80 Mach. The cabin of the Falcon 50 is usually configured to carry eight to ten passengers. It is 5.9 feet high, 23.5 feet long, and 6.1 feet wide for a total cabin volume of 700 cubic feet. The external storage compartment is long enough to fit objects up to eight feet. The cabin of the Falcon 50 is rated to 8.7 psi, and is automatically regulated. A two-zone temperature control system uses bleed air from the center engine to control heat. The Falcon 50 is one of the rare jets to use a three-engine configuration — in this case, three Honeywell TFE731-3-1C turbofan engines that provide 3,700 pounds of thrust each on takeoff. Each engine has a separate fuel system of about 5,000 pounds for a total fuel capacity of 15,520 pounds – enough to fly seven hours nonstop with fuel reserves. The Falcon 50, like an increasing number of advanced midsized private jets, was designed with the help of computer-molded fluid dynamics software. Its wings are designed to minimize drag, even at high speeds. Since roughly half of the noise produced by a private jet in flight comes from the wind impacting a fast-moving structure and meeting resistance, the Falcon 50’s aerodynamic advances help keep it fairly quiet for a private jet of its size. It produces 84.3 EPNdB on takeoff, and 87 EPNdB on flyover. Dassault strikes a good balance between range, runway performance, and speed in the Falcon 50. With a cabin measuring more than twenty-three feet long and a transcontinental range, the Falcon 50 still manages to cruise at speeds of 468 knots. Its performance levels are high while other factors, such as its takeoff distance, remain competitive.
