The Dassault Falcon 7X is a large-cabin, ultra-long-range business jet developed by French manufacturer Dassault Aviation. It was the first business jet in the world to feature a fully digital fly-by-wire flight control system, a technology borrowed from Dassault's military fighter aircraft heritage. The aircraft entered service in 2007 and quickly earned a reputation for its exceptional range, fuel efficiency, and advanced avionics suite, including the EASy II flight deck. Its tri-engine configuration using Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307A engines allows it to operate from shorter or higher-altitude airports that twin-engine jets may not access as readily. The 7X has a spacious cabin that can be configured for sleeping, dining, and meeting areas, making it popular among corporate flight departments and charter operators worldwide. It was succeeded by the Dassault Falcon 8X, an upgraded and longer-range variant introduced in 2016.

Notable operators

Operated primarily by corporate flight departments, charter companies, and government operators worldwide rather than commercial airlines.
