Dassault Falcon 100

Overview & History

The Dassault Family crafts jets with high standards of engineering, structural quality, and technological advancement.

Although Dassault’s models have evolved and improved over time, the Falcon 100, a light, twin-turbo fan business jet, remains popular in the used aircraft market, and for good reasons.

It was introduced for the first time in 1983 as the redesigned continuation of the Falcon 10.

Following the redesign period, 37 Falcon 100s were built before production halted in 1989. 37 aircraft have been built so far.

Dassault Falcon 100 Performance

The Falcon 100 comes equipped with two Honeywell TFE 731-2-1C turbofan engines. Each engine is rated at 3,230 pounds of thrust with an inspection interval of 4,200 hours. With these engines, the Falcon 100 needs only 4,500 feet of runway to take off at sea level on a standard day.

This takeoff distance increases to 7,600 feet at an airport altitude of 5,000 feet and a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. With four passengers, this private jet requires only 2,250 feet of runway to land.

The Falcon 100 features a maximum certified service ceiling of 45,000 feet and a range of 1,532 nautical miles. For a swift flight to your business destination, the Falcon 100 is capable of maintaining an airspeed of 476 knots at an altitude of 37,000 in a high-speed cruise configuration.
