The Dassault Falcon 7X is a large-cabin, ultra-long-range business jet manufactured by French aerospace company Dassault Aviation. Introduced in 2007, it was the first business jet designed entirely using digital computer modeling, specifically Dassault's own CATIA software, allowing for highly precise aerodynamic optimization. The 7X features three Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307A engines, a fly-by-wire flight control system derived from Dassault's military aircraft expertise, and an advanced glass cockpit. Its intercontinental range allows nonstop flights between city pairs such as Paris and Singapore or Los Angeles and Tokyo. The aircraft is widely used by corporate flight departments, government VIP operators, and high-net-worth individuals. It has been produced continuously since certification and remains in service as a benchmark of large-cabin business aviation performance.

Notable operators

Operated primarily by private corporations, government VIP fleets, and fractional ownership programs such as NetJets.
