Dassault Details Aerodynamic Optimization for High-Speed Falcon 10X

Dassault Aviation is refining the aerodynamics of its upcoming flagship, the Falcon 10X, to maximize performance at high speeds. Led by high-speed aerodynamics expert Philippe gestin, the team is focusing on ensuring the aircraft is clean and efficient near its top speed of Mach 0.925. This optimization process involves meticulous analysis of the wing, empennage, and fuselage integration to minimize drag. The goal is to achieve the aircraft's ambitious 7,500-nautical-mile range without compromising its high-speed cruise capabilities. This work is critical to the development of what is set to be one of the most advanced business jets on the market.
