Dassault Falcon 7X

The Dassault Falcon series is a collection of small and medium-sized business jets that it has been producing since the mid-1960s. The Falcon series has blended a luxurious cabin with technology derived from classic French fighter aircraft to produce a fast and long-range platform with excellent flight characteristics. The Falcon 7X first flew in 2005 and is equipped with three jet engines and is fully fly-by-wire. The type can carry between 12 and 16 passengers non-stop to Sacramento in luxurious comfort.  

The Belgian Air Force Royal Flight operate a pair of Falcon 7X for VIP flight duties and is based at Melsbroek. 

The Belgian Air Force will be celebrating their 80th anniversary at this year’s Air Tattoo and will be sending one of its Falcon 7X for static display. The aircraft will also be taking part in our ‘Royal Flight’ theme.
