Dassault Aviation Falcon 6X

The Falcon 6X entered service in late 2023 as Dassault's first large twin, with the widest and tallest cabin of any purpose-built business jet until the 10X arrives. Its 5,500 nm range, PW812D engines and third-generation digital flight controls make it a direct competitor to the G500 and Global 5500, and deliveries reached about 25 by the end of 2025.

In short: The Dassault Aviation Falcon 6X is a Large Jet with a range of 5,500 nm, a cruise speed of 488 knots and room for 12 passengers. It lists at about $54M new and costs roughly $4,700 an hour to operate (estimate).
