Dassault Falcon 10
The Dassault Falcon 10 is a small, early member of the Falcon business jet family, developed as a compact companion to the larger Falcon 20 with a similar wing shape scaled down. Its relatively short range and modest cabin size suited shorter regional business trips rather than long intercontinental flights. It also served as the basis for a dedicated French Navy carrier-capable trainer version, adapted with a reinforced undercarriage. Though long out of production, a number remain in private and corporate use today.
