Dassault Aviation Falcon 2000

Since the 2000’s introduction in 1996, Dassault has debuted several variants that built on its winning DNA. In 2004, the manufacturer unveiled the EX, which featured enhanced avionics and a better cabin pressurization system. The DX followed in 2007 with the updated EASy digital cockpit. The 2000LX came in 2009, with standard winglets, and pushed the model past the $30 million price point while delivering 4,000 nautical miles of range, giving it plenty of margin for transatlantic crossings.

The interior cabin dimensions of a completed 2000LX are precisely the same as those of the original 2000, offering a comfortable fit for as many as eight passengers and a slightly tighter cabin for 10. Dassault believes the 2000LX shines because it does more with less, as in offering more overall range on less fuel than a 2000EX, thanks to Aviation Partners winglets that add about 3.5 feet of wingspan to each side and clearly define the LX to Falcon aficionados.

In 2013, Dassault also began production on the Falcon 2000LXS, which essentially combines the best features of the 2000LX and 2000S. The LXS comes equipped with the EASy II flight deck found on both the LX and S, the 4,145-nautical-mile range found on the LX, and the impressive runway capabilities of the S model.
