Dassault Falcon 8X
The Dassault Falcon 8X is a stretched, longer-range development of the fly-by-wire Falcon 7X, extending its cabin and fuel capacity for true intercontinental non-stop range. Like its Falcon 7X predecessor, it uses three engines and fighter-derived fly-by-wire flight controls with side-stick controllers rather than a traditional yoke. Its extra range lets it connect city pairs that even the 7X couldn't reach non-stop. It remains Dassault's flagship, longest-range business jet in production today.
