Jet characteristics

The Falcon 7x is considered one of the most comfortable and luxurious models in the world. This is exactly what befits the richest men in Africa who do not want to waste too much time on flight delays.

Business jet Dassault Falcon 7X guarantees high comfort, speed and safety during flights. This model was developed by the French corporation “Dassault Aviation” to replace the Falcon 900, produced since 1984 and intended for intercontinental flights.

The Falcon 7X is the flagship of “Dassault Aviation” company, and a quintessence of the most modern engineering developments and design in modern business aviation.

Having entered into service in 2007, this aircraft was immediately loved not only by customers but also by specialists of the aviation sphere. Special equipment were used while designing the jet to transfer almost all the construction, as well as the maintenance process into a virtual environment.

This helped to work out all the components of the aircraft in details at an early stage, which in turn increased the reliability of the subsequently manufactured apparatus and shortened the development time.

Structurally, this aircraft differs from the 900 series by a modified wing, which increased the technical characteristics of the Falcon 7X by 30%. Also, the area of the tail stabilizer was enlarged and reinforced. The aircraft is equipped with two powerful Canada PW307A engines and is the first business jet equipped with an electrical remote-control system.

Convenient features of Falcon 7X

The possibility of a non-stop flight for 11000 km; thanks to this feature, a user can reach almost any city on the planet.
A spacious room with a luxury design, equipped with ergonomic seats, workstations, coffee tables, modern multimedia and communication equipment for proper rest and efficient work during flights.
Relatively low maintenance costs as well as reduced fuel consumption to save on cost of operation.

Tony Elumelu certainly made a good decision by choosing the Falcon 7X.

This aircraft is really great. If you are impressed by the description of Tony Elumelu’s personal jet, the only conclusion that can be made is that working hard brings good results. Perhaps some of you will also be able to fly on a private jet in future. Dreams come true!
