| The Falcon 900 transcontinental range trijet is a substantially revised development of the Falcon 50. While of similar overall configuration to the Falcon 50, the Falcon 900 features an all new wider and longer fuselage which can seat three passengers abreast. The main commonality with the Falcon 50 is the wing, which despite being designed for a considerably lighter aircraft, was adapted almost directly unchanged. In designing the Falcon 900 Dassault made use of computer aided modelling, while the aircraft's structure incorporates a degree of composite materials. From 1991 the standard production model was the Falcon 900B, which differs from the earlier 900 in having more powerful engines, increased range, the ability to operate from unprepared strips and Category II visibility approach clearance. Earlier production 900s can be retrofitted to 900B standard. The Falcon 900EX is a longer range development launched in October 1994. It features TFE73160s, a Honeywell Primus 4000 EFIS avionics suite, optional Flight Dynamics head-up displays, increased fuel capacity and greater range. Its first flight was on June 1 1995 and first delivery was in May 1996. The latest Falcon 900 model to be announced is the 900C. Revealed in 1998, the C is a development of the B but incorporating the advanced Honeywell Primus avionics of the 900EX. |
