Dassault on Monday launched its new Falcon 2000LX at the European Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (EBACE). The next evolution of its bestselling 2000 family, the 2000LX can fly an extra 200 nm -- and up to 4,000 nm at Mach .80 -- while climbing to FL410 in 18 minutes. Working with U.S.-based Aviation Partners (API), the French airframer added winglets, which reduce drag by up to 5%, thus increasing range and cutting fuel consumption. Designed to stretch potential city pairs, customers can travel comfortably between Paris and New York. The aircraft can also connect New York- Moscow, Paris-Delhi and Hong Kong-Brisbane. Powered by the same PW308C engines as the 2000EX, the 2000LX comes standard with the same EASy flight deck and spacious cabin as its predecessor. In terms of range, the new Falcon sits comfortably between the 2000DX at 3,250 nm and the freshly certificated 7X, which can fly for 5,950 nm.
