Dassault Aviation revolutionized the large-cabin private jet segment with the mid-1970s introduction of the three-engine Falcon 50, which at the time was the first private jet on the market that offered true intercontinental range. Even today, this distinctive aircraft offers impressive range and payload capacity, able to carry eight passengers more than 2,600 nautical miles at a speed of Mach .80 (with room for as many as 19 seats) and inflight trip leg endurance of more than seven hours. Three Honeywell TFE731-3-1C turbofan engines provide 3,700 pounds of thrust each on takeoff, resulting in sea-level runway requirement of just 4,700 feet and cruising speeds of 468 knots. This high-performance ensures that, even given its age, the Falcon 50 remains a highly competitive private jet option.
