The Dassault Falcon 900 is a large-cabin, long-range business jet produced by Dassault Aviation of France. It features a distinctive trijet configuration derived from the earlier Falcon 50, with a wide cross-section cabin offering exceptional comfort for corporate and VIP travel. First flown in 1984, it entered service in 1986 and has since spawned a family of variants. The aircraft is known for its fuel efficiency relative to its class, its ability to operate from shorter runways than many competitors, and its transatlantic range capability. The Falcon 900 family includes variants such as the 900B, 900C, 900EX, 900EX EASy, 900DX, and 900LX, progressively improving range, avionics, and engine performance. The type is widely used by government and military operators as a VIP transport and special-mission platform, in addition to its strong corporate operator base worldwide.
