Dassault Falcon 7X
The Dassault Falcon 7X was the first business jet ever certified with a full fly-by-wire flight control system, technology Dassault adapted from its military fighter programs like the Rafale. Like other large Falcons, it uses three engines, a safety margin the company has favoured for long-range overwater flying since the Falcon 50. Its digital flight controls give pilots fighter-jet-inspired side-stick controllers instead of the traditional yoke found in most business jets. It set the technical benchmark that Dassault's later, even larger Falcon 8X built directly upon.
