Performance
For the first time, Dassault and Rolls-Royce have worked together on an engine for the Falcon series. While still in development, this aircraft is equipped with two Rolls-Royce Pearl 10X turbofans with 18,000 lbs of thrust each. The engines are said to be much lighter and provide less drag.
The maximum range on this aircraft is approximately 7,500 nautical miles. With 8 passengers and 4 crew, the 10X can achieve this range at a speed of Mach 0.85. The high speed cruise on this aircraft is approximately Mach 0.90. It’s maximum Mach operating speed (MMO) is 0.925 and maximum cruise altitude is 51,000 ft. When it comes to maximum take off weight (MTOW), this aircraft can manage 115,000 lbs. (2)

You can expect to find 38 windows (19 on each side) to help fill the cabin / fuselage with natural and abundant light. The windows are actually about 50% bigger than what is currently found on the Falcon 8X model. Providing the cabin with even more light and outdoor visibility.
