Powered by three Garrett TFE731-3 turbofans, the 4,000 nm  range aircraft  accommodates up to ten passengers and first flew on 7th November 1976.  It has the same cross section as  the Falcon 20 but is stretched to 18.43m.

It remains in production, with over 80 built.  Powered by Garrett TFE731-40 engines it carries the same avionics as the Falcon 2000.  Although this photo shows a model with a satcom fit, this is not unique to 50EX's.
	.. Falcon 900 102 Falcon 900's were built before being superseded on the line by the 900B.  The 900 can accommodate up to 19 passengers and first flew on 21st September 1984.  It is a scaled up development of the 50 and is powered by three Garrett TFE731 engines. . Falcon 900B The Falcon 900B was a development of the 900, beginning with construction number 103. The aircraft utilises the Honeywell EDZ820 electronics system and is powered by TFE731-5BR engines giving a range of up to 7,400km and is externally identical to the basic 900. . Falcon 900C This upgrade to the 900 offers a 900B with the upgraded avionics of the 900EX, except for an autothrottle.  Engines and performance are the same as the 900B, the 900C's task being to standardise avionics across the range whilst remaining a low cost alternative for those who do not require the extended range of the 900EX.  It is being replaced in production by the 900DX in late 2005. . Falcon 900DX . The Falcon 900DX was announced at the EBACE show at Geneva in May 2004 and is intended to fill a 'niche' between the Falcon 200EX and 900EX.  Powered by three Honeywell TFE-731-60 engines, the range is 4,100nm.  The front fuselage is that of the Falcon 2000EX and operating costs are said to be five percent less than the 900C which it replaces.  First flight took place on 13th May 2005. Certification and first deliveries are scheduled for late 2005. . . Falcon 900EX The Falcon 900EX is the latest version of the twelve seat trijet, considered to be different enough from the older 900 versions to warrant a new construction number sequence.  It has been aimed at the lower end of the Gulfstream 5 and Global Express market, but somewhat cheaper.  Dassault had considered a new model to compete directly in the Global market but decided that two major players was enough, so decided to develop it's 900 model into an extra long range version .The addition of TFE731-60 engines, plus additional fuel tanks gives the 900EX an increase of 900km range over the previous models, to 8,325km.. It first flew on 1st June 1995 and  is fitted with a new Primus 2000 avionics suite. Over 120 have  been built so far. . Falcon 2000 The 2000 was designed to replace the 20, around 200 of this large midrange jet had been built by late 2002. It has the same cross section as the Falcon 900B but is about 78 inches shorter. It is powered by two Garrett CFE738 turbofans and first flew on 3rd March 1993. . Falcon 2000DX . Announced at the 2005 NBAA show, the 2000DX is destined to replace the standard 2000 in production.  It has a range of 3800nm, slightly more than the 2000 but less than the 2000EX but using the same PW308C engines..  An updated cockpit is included and first flight took place at Bordeaux on 19th June 2007.  Certification is planned for late 2008. . Falcon 2000EX Announced at the NBAA 2000, the 'long range' Falcon 2000EX  is powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C engines and has a transatlantic range of up to 3,800nm, 25% more than the standard 2000.  The airframe is based on the standard 2000, with the addition of 31% more fuel capacity and strengthened landing gear.  Roll out took place on 19th July 2002 with European and US certification achieved in March 2003. Deliveries started in the second quarter of 2003 and over 120 had been built by mid 2007. . Falcon 2000LX Announced at the EBACE 2007, thIs development of the Falcon 2000EX features the addition of blended winglets, reducing drag and helping to extend the range to 4000nm as well as giving improved climb.  Engines remain the same but the wing span is 2m wider.  The first flight took place in August 06 and certification aimed for in late 2007.  The aircraft will supercede the 200EX in production by 2010.  The winglets are being offered for retrofit on the 2000 and 2000EX at a price of around half a million dollars. . Falcon 7X A new Tri-jet was announced by Dassault at the Paris Air Show, 2001 with an interim name 'FNX'. The name 'Falcon 7X' was announced in late October that year.  It begins a new designation series with the name 'Falcon' being retained due to its familiarity and brand.  Being the first executive jet to use fly by wire technology, the 7X was designed for a range of 5,700nm, speeds up to mach 0.9 with a cabin width the same as the F900EX but 20% longer.  First flight took place on 6th June 2005 with service entry due in late 2006.  It is powered by P&WC PW307A engines and costs 37m dollars.  In early 2006, a decision was taken to add winglets to the aircraft as standard and increase fuel capacity by adding an extra fuel tank, delaying its certification by three months into 2007.  These changes have the effect of increasing the range to 6000nm to allow for a Paris to Los Angeles range at higher weights.  Certification was acheived on 1st May 2007 with service entry shortly after.  160 orders were claimed at this time.  The aircraft is built in Bordeaux and fitted out in Little Rock, Arkansas.
