The trijet Falcon 50 is a substantial long range upgrade based on the earlier twinjet Mystère/Falcon 20 and 200 family. The Dassault Falcon 50 was developed for long range trans Atlantic and transcontinental flight sectors, using the Falcon 20 as the design basis. However, to meet the 3475nm (6440km) range requirement significant changes mean that the Falcon 50 is for all intents and purposes an all new aircraft. Key new features include three 3700lb (16.6kN) Garrett TFE731 turbofans, in place of the Falcon 20's two General Electric CF700s, mounted on a new area ruled tail section, plus a new supercritical wing of greater area than that on the 20 and 200. Falcon 20 components retained include the nose and fuselage cross section. In April 1995 Dassault announced the long range Falcon 50EX with more fuel efficient TFE73140 turbofans, 400nm (740km) greater range (at Mach 0.80) than the base Falcon 50 and a new EFIS flightdeck based on the Falcon 2000's with Collins Pro Line 4 avionics. The 50EX also features as standard equipment items offered as options only on the standard Falcon 50.
