Dassault Aviation Falcon 8X
The Falcon 8X stretches the 7X trijet and adds a redesigned wing and uprated PW307D engines for a 6,450 nm range, enough for Hong Kong to London non-stop. Its three-engine layout and digital flight controls allow steep approaches into airports like London City, and it burns notably less fuel than twin-engine rivals of similar range.
In short: The Dassault Aviation Falcon 8X is a Ultra-Long-Range with a range of 6,450 nm, a cruise speed of 488 knots and room for 12 passengers. It lists at about $64M new and costs roughly $5,000 an hour to operate (estimate).
