DASSAULT
The Dassault Falcon 900B was the first stretched, higher-thrust development of the original Falcon 900 line — three Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines, 4,000 nm of range and three-zone Falcon cabin comfort at charter rates well below the 900EX and 900LX.

The Dassault Falcon 900LX is the only heavy-jet trijet in production — three Honeywell engines for unmatched redundancy, ETOPS-free transatlantic capability and 4,750 nm of range with twelve passengers in three living zones.

| ROUTE | DISTANCE | RECOMMENDED | WHY |
|---|---|---|---|
| London → New York | 3,000 nm | Falcon 900LX | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |
| Paris → Dubai | 2,950 nm | Falcon 900LX | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |
| Miami → São Paulo | 3,500 nm | Falcon 900LX | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |
| Hong Kong → Sydney | 3,950 nm | Falcon 900LX | Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (3950 nm > 4,000 nm). |
Distances are great-circle approximations; actual fuel planning accounts for winds, weather and reserves.
