Falcon 2000S.

GENEVA (BNS): Dassault Aviation has launched the new Falcon 2000S aircraft with a category-leading payload, range, performance and efficiency.

The new aircraft have introduced a large cabin aircraft to the super mid-sized business jet market.

According to the company, the 3,350 nm Falcon 2000S will feature inboard slats, high-Mach blended winglets, a new generation PW308C engine that produces fewer emissions, an entirely new BMW Group DesignworksUSA interior and redesigned cockpit aesthetics along with the next-generation EASy II flight deck.

It is expected to be certified in the end of 2012 with deliveries beginning in early 2013.

With full fuel, the Falcon 2000S will have the largest payload in its class at 1,850 lbs with a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 41,000 lbs with a balanced field length of 4,450 feet which is up to 500 feet less than competing aircraft.

The aircraft has the capability to climb directly to 41,000 feet in 19 minutes, and reach a mid-cruise altitude of 45,000 feet and offer a certified ceiling of 47,000 feet.

At a typical end-of-flight profile, the Falcon 2000S will need just 2,600 feet of runway, or the equivalent length needed for a typical turboprop aircraft.
