The Dassault Falcon 10 is a French light commercial jet propelled aircraft. It is a twin-engine machine, built in a low wing configuration with a three-support undercarriage - retractable in flight. The drive is provided by two turbofan engines Garrett TFE731-2 . The flight of the prototype took place in 1970, and serial production started in the same year and continued until 1989. In total, about 230 copies of this aircraft were built.
The Dassault Falcon 10 was developed as a development of the Dassault Falcon 20 aircraft, as its smaller version, mainly with a smaller passenger cabin. Several development versions were created in the course of serial production, including: Falcon 10 (basic version), Falcon 10 MER (communication and transport version dedicated to the French Navy) and Falcon 100. The latter version has been significantly modernized compared to the previous two, mainly by adding an external door to the luggage compartment and far-reaching changes to the pilot's cockpit combined with the use of modern electronics and communication equipment.
