The Falcon 10 is a compact Dassault twinjet developed to bring Falcon 20-style performance to a four- to seven-passenger airframe. It is a distinctive legacy charter option for travelers who value speed and Falcon heritage, but current condition, cabin completion, avionics and direct-carrier approval matter more than its historic reputation.
Why the Falcon 10 remains a charter consideration
Dassault began the Mini-Falcon program in 1969, flew the first Falcon 10 in December 1970 and certified the TFE731-powered design in 1973. Dassault records the type as the fastest business aircraft of its early-1970s era and highlights its three-dimensionally designed wing; the later Falcon 100 improved baggage access and cockpit displays, so those features should not be silently attributed to every Falcon 10.

Inside the Falcon 10
The reviewed six-seat Falcon 10 serial 120 measures approximately 13 feet long, 5 feet wide and 5 feet high, with a listed 251-cubic-foot cabin, 13 cubic feet of internal baggage and 28 cubic feet of external baggage. Cabin windows bring natural light into the compact executive seating area, and the reviewed layout includes a galley, aft lavatory and air conditioning; other Falcon 10 tails may use different seating, upholstery, refreshment equipment, outlets, Wi-Fi and avionics, while the later Falcon 100's exterior-access hold and improved cabin are not silently attributed to this model.

Falcon 10 range, cruise speed and flight deck
The reviewed Falcon 10 serial 120 lists 1,520 nautical miles with every seat occupied, 1,620 nautical miles as its maximum-range reference, 433 KTAS at long-range cruise, 452 KTAS at normal cruise and 490 KTAS at maximum cruise. Those are tail-specific planning figures, not universal promises: twin upgraded TFE731-2-2C engines and the aircraft's installed equipment influence the result, while Dassault's three-dimensionally designed swept wing explains the type's high-speed character and the operating carrier must verify runway, payload and reserve calculations.
- Range reference
- Approximately 1,520 nm seats-full to 1,620 nm maximum
- Direct-tail Falcon 10 serial 120 reference; routing, weather, reserves and the offered tail can differ.
- Cruise speed reference
- 433 KTAS long-range, 452 KTAS normal and up to 490 KTAS maximum cruise
- Direct-tail Falcon 10 serial 120 reference; cruise setting and operating conditions determine actual speed.
- Engines and efficiency context
- Two Garrett, later Honeywell, TFE731-2 turbofans
- Installed engine standard, thrust setting, altitude, payload and cruise profile determine fuel burn; the model-level engine identity is not a trip fuel-consumption guarantee.
- Avionics
- Legacy Collins-era cockpit with tail-specific navigation, surveillance and display retrofits
- Aerodynamic design
- Swept wing designed in three dimensions, with high-speed-stability changes during certification

Is the Falcon 10 right for your charter?
A Falcon 10 may suit a small party seeking a fast regional legacy jet when the specific aircraft's refurbishment and baggage plan fit the trip. Jet Partners can request a tail-specific proposal, but no availability, speed result, nonstop capability or amenity is confirmed until the properly licensed direct carrier provides written aircraft and trip terms.
