(Teterboro, New Jersey, February 5, 2010) – Dassault Falcon and BMW Group
DesignworksUSA were recently awarded the prestigious “Good Design” award for 2009
by The Chicago Athenaeum and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design for
their successful collaboration on the new Falcon 7X interior option.
Founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1950 by architects Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames
and Edger Kaufmann Jr., “Good Design” bestows international recognition upon the
world’s most prominent designers and manufacturers for advancing new, visionary and
innovative product concepts, invention and originality.
According to the Chicago Athenaeum, “BMW Group Designworks USA’s interior for the
Dassault Falcon 7X offers defining features, including uncompromising cabin comfort
for temperature monitoring, thermal controls and custom-crafted interior furnishings.”
Introduced at European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) in May,
2009, the new interior will be available for deliveries starting in the third quarter of 2011.

The new Falcon 7X cabin option 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 an elegant and styled cabin fused with
function.
The 5,950 nm 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% larger than previous
Falcons. It also features a low in flight cabin altitude of 6,000 feet, even while flying at
51,000 feet, 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.
