Development

The Falcon 900 fuselage was shortened by Template:Cvt to carry up to 10 passengers. The wing leading edge was modified and its inboard slats were removed.[1] It was introduced in 1995 for $17.85 million,[1] while the 2023 Falcon 2000LXS lists for $36 million.[2]

The Dassault Falcon 2000LXS variant will be produced in India by Dassault Reliance Aerospace Ltd (DRAL) as announced during the Paris Air Show. The first Indian Falcon 2000 is expected to make its first flight in 2028. The DRAL, a joint venture of Dassault Aviation and Reliance Infrastructure subsidiary, Reliance Aerostructure Limited (RAL), was established in 2017 at MIHAN at Nagpur airport, Maharashtra, India. The facility had supplied 100 major components for Falcon 2000 since supplying the first front section in 2019.[3][4]

Variants

Original version certified in 1994[5] with CFE (General Electric & AlliedSignal) CFE738-1-1B turbofans,[6][7] with 5,918 pounds-force (26.32 kilonewtons) of thrust each, a range of 2,841 nautical miles [nmi] (5,262 km; 3,269 mi) range and Collins Pro Line 4 avionics suite.[1]
Page Template:Visible anchor/styles.css has no content.Falcon 2000EX
Re-engined variant certified in 2003 with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C turbofan engines,[6] Template:Cvt each, offering a Template:Cvt range.[1]
Falcon 2000EX EASy
Marketing designation for a 2000EX with changes to pressurisation and oxygen systems, certified in 2004,[5] and Honeywell Primus Epic-based EASy avionics suite, including synthetic vision.[1] Undertook steep approach trials at London City Airport on 18 March 2010, becoming the first Dassault twin-jet to visit apart from the much older, diminutive Dassault Falcon 10.
Falcon 2000DX
Updated model certified in 2007[5] and based on the 2000EX EASy with the same PW308C turbofans.[8] Shorter-range of Template:Cvt for $28.5 million.[1]
Falcon 2000LX

Blended winglets were introduced with the 2000LX and can also be installed on other variants (here a 2000EX)
Longer-range 2009[5] variant of the Falcon 2000EX EASy, with the addition of Aviation Partners Blended Winglets, giving it a range capability of 4,000 nautical miles (7,400 km; 4,600 mi).[9] The same winglets are certified for the entire Falcon 2000 series as a retrofit kit.
Falcon 2000S
Variant which began testing in 2011 with short field characteristics.[10] Landing distance has been reduced to 705 meters, opening up 50% more airports than other aircraft in this class.[11] Compared to the $5 million more expensive LXS, the S range is shorter by Template:Cvt by restricting its fuel capacity to Template:Cvt.[12] It burns Template:Cvt of fuel in the first hour and Template:Cvt afterwards, and can take off in Template:Cvt at sea level on a standard day.[12] In 2021, its equipped price was $28.8M.[13] It offers a Template:Cvt range.[1]
Falcon 2000LXS
Replacement for the long-range 2000LX and introduced in 2014. Relative to its predecessor, the Falcon 2000LXS offers greatly improved takeoff and landing performance, superior cabin comfort and reduced emissions. It also has a lower approach speed (194 km/h vs. 210 km/h), enabling it to land in a shorter distance, 689 m vs. 800 m, equivalent to turboprop aircraft.[14][15] In 2021, its equipped price was $35.1M.[13]
Falcon 2000MRA/MSA
The Maritime Reconnaissance Aircraft (MRA) or Maritime surveillance aircraft (MSA) is a militarized variant based on the Falcon 2000LXS. Six Falcon 2000MSA were ordered by the Japan Coast Guard in 2015, with delivery expected from 2019 onwards.[16][17]

Derived from the Falcon 2000MRA, the Falcon 2000 Albatros was selected in 2020 to replace the French Naval Aviation's Falcon 50 Surmar and Falcon 200 Gardian aircraft. The aircraft is designed for maritime surveillance and intervention missions. It will incorporate a multifunction under-fuselage radar, a high-performance electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) system, observation windows, a Search & Rescue chain release system and dedicated communications systems. Seven units have been ordered and are to be delivered from 2025 onwards, with the acquisition of five additional units planned for a total of twelve aircraft.[18]
