I fly a three engine Falcon. I used to fly Hawkers and Gulfstreams. They all have their pros and cons. The Falcon flies the nicest and has excellent runway performance but that giant empennage makes them a bit of a handful in a gusty crosswind, especially with the long, low wing. Fun fact: The 900 uses the 50's wing.

I worked for a large communications company and the 3 top people in that company came to my worksite in the Arctic. I asked the CEO about all 3 of them being on the plane together and he told me they only fly together if they were in a 3 engine jet. The Falcon had about the same footprint of a 737 but with a narrower fuselage. My first thought was most accidents happen during takeoff and landing and the number of engines doesn’t make a difference.

It's not a 727 but it's pretty nice. A mini 727.

There is an old joke in the piston era, about how many engines you need to be safe. The engineer tapped the captain on the shoulder and report engine number 24 failed, and the captain asked...........on which side?? Even with 4 engines, one Connie was almost dragged into the sea by a prop that refused to be feathered. The captain saved the plane by his idea of cutting off the oil to the prop and caused the shaft to seize and break. I doubt in today's glass cockpit, the pilots have controls of such fine details.

I used to tell my car stereo customers back in the day when car stereos were a thing.... "If you have room for 2 12" subs, you have room for 3 10" subs."

I just love them all around, from specs to design, flying characteristics to range, efficiency and how pilots love to fly them, and so much more. They are still my favorite airplanes, 900LX and 8X.

Sky after all your extra captions showing the Imperial measurement for metric units, you are still missing out thrust. The one thing I can't convert in my head. For everyone like me, 22.25 kilonewtons per engine is almost exactly 5,000lbs of thrust. As always, a great film. Looking forward to the lesser known soviet military aircraft. The Falcon was in the news this week as the RAF has a flight of them, one of which transported His Majesty King Charles III to Scotland.

Trijets have this certain something that makes them cooler. BTW the pronunciation is Dass (as in « ass ») - Oh.

Trijets are so cool. Trimotors too.

What a great video. Ive always seen lots of these at London City Airport..It makes so much more sense now given their versality

Falcon 20 was the first airplane I remember FED EX first started out with. I worked at Denver Beechcraft FBO in the 1970s and FED EX came in every day to refuel with the Falcon 20s. It was a fledging company at the time.

I worked on the load crew for the last Falcons that flew out of Memphis. I was a student at Memphis State at the time.

This aircraft is why the F-16 is officially named the “Fighting Falcon.” The USAF wanted to call the F-16 “Falcon” in parallel with the F-15 being “Eagle” but Dassault had already grabbed the name for their bizjet.

It doesn’t need 3 engines. It has been designed with typical redundancy most aircraft have built in to the design. I5 gives confidence to owners who frequently fly over long stretches of water, ie, the Atlantic and Pacific

Back in the 80s I used to fly all over Saudi Arabia in a Falcon 50 owned by Philips Telecommunications. They had a fleet of Falcons with tail numbers from PH-ILA to PH-ILZ

Great stuff as always, thanks Sky!!

Dassault should bring something to compete with PC24 with gravel landing feature. It's 10x will certainly beat G700.

@danielrose1392

Ай бұрын

Not sure where you got these numbers from, but it's definitely not that bad for rear mounted jet engines. One advantage of this mounting position is a minimal leverage for the engine so asymetric thrust barely moves the plane. Worst are short and slow twin propeller planes. In these planes Those planes sometimes have a Vmc far above the (twin engine) stall speed. If you fly slower and an engine fails, you gut a huge problem. Depending on the type your rudder will cause too much drag and you can't accelerate without loosing altitued, or at full deflection of your rudder you won't be able to fly straight ahead. So yes, if you can't even use full thrust of your remaining engine, you are quickly left with very little thrust.

@superskullmaster

Ай бұрын

@@danielrose1392 for sure a rear mounted twin will be much closer to 50%, I was speaking about something like a 757, 767 or 777 that is is heavily loaded

The ETOPS considerations been less important by operating costs considerations. Twin engined planes had to be more powerful to meet FAA single engine climb requirement. When an engine of a twin failed, you lose by your figures about 50% of the power, but in real life, is actually closer to 60% , and the 3 engine about 40%, because not only the failed engine is not working, but is dead weight and drag and you cannot feather the first stage fan. Also, recent decades of engine failures have taught the industry it is not so much how many engines you have , but how it failed. Jets sometimes failed by exploding and one such explosion of an L1011 cut all three hydraulic systems, and the A380 engine failure damaged other vital systems, luckily it happened close to an airport, then there was the Airbus with a fuel leak over the Atlantic.

I know the answer to the question. So it can speed to create lift.

Ironic that most of the people whining about how he pronounces Dassault probably call it "Mickoyin Gurrivich" and get just about every Russian name wrong. Proper names are pronounced differently in different languages anyway. I would also point out that the town of Saulte St. Marie is pronounced "Soo St. Marie", so clearly that pronunciation exists of that letter grouping.

The 10x has only 2 "🔥💓"🤣🤣🤣

It's not pronounced "Dassoo" - it's "Dasso", like you pronounce water in French - "Eau" (like "Eau de toilette", and in this configuration, with the engines being at the very back of the plane - they push it, not pull it.

Much like the L1011.. the falcon tri-jets default to thier military heritage then hipster trendy designs of thier competition. Windscreens replacements are simple and cheap with the 700 a single square pane , unlike a g5 which is curved and specific to left or right.

His explanation of loss of engine on takeoff is flawed. The certification requirements are such that with one engine out, a twin has a greater climb gradient capability than a tri, and a tri is greater than a quad. So you have greater excess thrust, one engine out, on a twin. All due to the way cert requirements drove the design.

If I could choose my own jet I have been aware of the three engine Dassault Falcon, and that France don't really make bad aircraft and never have Should the opportunity arise I would buy an analogue Falcon trinket Thank you for making me aware of its abilities I would choose this over a gulfstream and also the etops regulations doesn't apply here I am so pleased you are still making videos With you I can properly learn about an aircraft which I love immensely and I am educated in the turbojet, thank you sky I wish you well.

Subsonic private jets are obsolete. A corporate flert today should be made of equally fast props: incredibly economic longer range electric motor, fuel cell drawing hydrogen gas fuel. Who land on 300-350m of runway.

The aeronautical engineers could not design and limit the empty weights of fuselage that suited for 2 engines so the extra one more must be needed.
