* In the early 1960s, the Dassault company of France introduced a twin-jet executive aircraft, the "Falcon 20", that proved very successful in commercial and military roles. In consequence, Dassault developed a three-engine follow-on, which emerged in the mid-1970s as the "Falcon 50". It would prove successful as well, with the company continuing to introduce new twinjets -- including the "Falcon 10", "Falcon 2000", and "Falcon 6X" -- and tri-jets -- including the "Falcon 900", "Falcon 7X", and "Falcon 8X", "Falcon 6X", and "Falcon 10X". This document provides a history and description of the Dassault Falcon executive jets. A list of illustration credits is provided at the end.
