(Geneva, Switzerland, May 11, 2009) –Today at EBACE, Dassault Falcon unveiled a
new cabin interior design for the 5,950 nm Falcon 7X. The program is the result of a
collaborative effort between Dassault and BMW Group DesignworksUSA, a global
design consultancy and subsidiary of BMW Group. Falcon 7X s/n 44, which is presented
on the Dassault static display at Geneva Airport, was used in the development of this new
interior which will be available as an option for deliveries starting in the first quarter of
2011.
The Falcon 7X has the longest range of any Falcon business jet. Special attention was
given to enhancing its cabin comfort for flights lasting up to 13 hours. Since its entry into
service in 2007, the 7X cabin has set a new standard for business jets. It presents a large
and bright cabin with 28 windows which are 10% bigger than previous Falcons. It also
features a low in flight cabin altitude of 6,000 feet, even at 51,000 ft, and an advanced
temperature control system that maintains the environment to within one degree
throughout the entire cabin. The 7X is also praised by its passengers for its “library quiet”
cabin which is the result of breakthroughs in design, materials and cushioned engine
mounts.
“Our collaboration with DesignworksUSA further enhanced the advanced features and
the comfort of the airplane. Their unique design successfully integrates functionality,
technology and ergonomics into the Falcon 7X cabin. The result is an elegant yet
sensible interior that meets the challenges of today’s demanding business environment,”
noted John Rosanvallon, President and CEO Dassault Falcon.
Utilizing multi-disciplinary teams, DesignworksUSA’s Transportation Design Group
merged its design, materials and finish development skills together and created a more
integrated process that leveraged each group’s expertise to create a strategically targeted
and unique interior design.
The new Falcon 7X cabin introduces subtle curves throughout the interior. A single arc
carpet element visually stretches the cabin and connects the interior front to back.
Curved bulkheads visually expand the main cabin volume while subtle curves in the
galley and main cabin create better flow. Cabin lighting techniques feature up-wash and
down-wash ambient lights as well as light strips. The combination of new lighting and
more contrast between the carpet, the side walls and headliners emphasize openness,
spaciousness and comfort. The final result is elegant and styled cabin fused with
function.

“We put a lot of emphasis on the passenger when designing the interior cabin, especially
since a flight could easily last 13 hours,” said Verena Kloos, BMW Group
DesignworksUSA President. “Additionally, we wanted the timeless and elegant design
to reinforce Dassault’s aeronautical passion and goal of defining a new level of flying
experience.”
