Falcon 8x



The Dassault Falcon 8X is the ultra-long-range tri-jet, adding a fuselage stretch and larger fuel tanks to the Falcon 7X airframe. For Naples clients, the 8X is the honest answer to ‘I want ultra-long-range capability but I want to keep flying out of APF as much as I can.’ Falcon’s short-field engineering, three engines, and 6,450 nautical mile range combine into an airframe that is more APF-friendly than the equivalent Gulfstream or Bombardier ultras.

Dassault delivered the first Falcon 8X in 2016, carrying three Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307D turbofans, EASy II avionics, and a stand-up cabin trimmed for 12 in a typical layout and up to 16 max. Overall length is 80.3 feet, wingspan 86.3 feet, tail height 26.1 feet. The tri-jet architecture continues the Falcon 900 series legacy.

Why the Dassault Falcon 8x Fits Naples

APF at 6,600 feet is a case-by-case departure for the 8X at MTOW, but the airframe’s short-field DNA and the Falcon tri-jet weight distribution make it a more practical APF client than a G650 or Global 6500. Cool morning departures at partial fuel are routine; hot afternoons at MTOW for a full-fuel European leg still want RSW.

Range at 6,450 nautical miles covers London (LTN or FAB), Zurich, and the LA basin nonstop, plus every Caribbean pairing at full cabin. The 51,000-foot ceiling and tri-jet architecture repeat the overwater and weather advantages of the 900 series at ultra-long-range mission profile. For Naples ultra-HNW clients who value Dassault build quality and want to fly out of APF whenever the mission allows, the 8X is the airframe that pushes the answer toward yes.

  • Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
  • Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
  • Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
