Dassault Falcon 10

The Dassault Falcon 10, formally the Dassault Mystère/Falcon 10 and first called the Minifalcon, is an early French corporate jet. Despite its number it was developed after the Falcon 20, and although it is often seen as a scaled-down version of that aircraft it was completely redesigned, with a non-circular fuselage, a new wing with slotted flaps, a split passenger door and simplified systems. It carries four to seven people and is powered by two Garrett TFE731-2 turbofans. Production began in 1971 and ceased in 1989, and the jet remains a popular second-hand business aircraft. The French Navy took seven Falcon 10MER aircraft as instrument trainers, VIP transports and liaison aircraft, and the Falcon 100 was designed to replace the Falcon 10 with a higher takeoff weight, a larger luggage compartment and a glass cockpit.
