Jetgala - MAR-MAY 2023

37 D A S S A U L T A V I A T I O N OPPOSITE PAGE: Full amenities installed on the 6X translates to more comfortable flights extended galley with a crew rest area as an option.The passenger area has four cabin zones of equal size, each with its own climate controls, but the design is flexible, and each zone can be shortened or extended to customise the layout. An owner could specify a shortened compartment as an entertainment centre with a divan on one side and a big screen TV on the other. Or the aft zone could be lengthened into a private suite with a full queen size bed (which is not possible on other large business jets because of their narrower width).An en-suite bath can be equipped with the largest shower in business aviation. It’s 1.88m tall with electro-chromatic dimmable windows and a generous 30-minute hot water supply. Reflects Modern Art The 10X cabin with its Modernist lines and decorative motifs has been enthusiastically embraced by customers and aviation journalists. One astute writer saw the influence of cubist painter Piet Mondrian, as well as other 20th century inspirations from French artists Georges Braque, Marc Chagall and Marcel Duchamp. For the 6X and 10X, Dassault designers moved away from traditional heavy-looking cabin furniture to reflect the latest in-home design. Privacy and Quietness Also new on the 6X and 10X is the optional Falcon Privacy Suite, a first within the business jet industry. One or two of which can be ordered for the aft cabin compartment.The suite has aisle dividers for privacy and a seat that reclines fully flat electrically. The Falcon Privacy Suite is well suited for long flights for at least two reasons. It provides a refuge for passengers who wish to work or just have a little time to themselves. The suite also offers a little more privacy for sleeping on corporate flights. Falcons have long been known as quiet aircraft with sound levels below 50dB— the equivalent of a suburban living room. Engineers report that the first Falcon 6X aircraft to receive full interiors are even quieter, with the 10X planned to be just as quiet.The low noise and vibration levels on these jets, in addition to low cabin altitudes, means that passengers feel much better at the end of a long flight.
