Dassault Falcon 2000

The Dassault Falcon 2000 is a twin-engined French business jet from Dassault Aviation's Falcon line, developed from the Falcon 900 trijet. Dassault shortened the 900 fuselage by about two metres to seat up to ten passengers, modified the wing leading edge and removed the inboard slats, giving a smaller aircraft with less range. The original version was certified in 1994 with CFE738 turbofans and was introduced in 1995. Later versions include the re-engined 2000EX, the EASy avionics model, the 2000DX, the winglet-fitted 2000LX, the short-field 2000S and the 2000LXS. Military uses include maritime surveillance versions for the Japan Coast Guard and the French Navy's Albatros. In 2025 Dassault and Reliance agreed to build the type in India, with the first Indian-built aircraft expected in 2028.
