With a history that predates World War II, Dassault Aviation is truly a pioneer in the world of modern aviation. To this day, the French-based aeronautics manufacturer—a division of Dassault Group—is still regarded as a forward-thinking company, even after a century in the industry.

Company founder, Marcel Dassault (then known as Marcel Bloch), got his start in aviation with the creation of the Éclair propeller, which was used by aircraft of the French Air Force in World War I. Since then, the company has kept up with the times, expanding its product offerings in several key sectors:

  • Business jets
  • Military aircraft
  • Space activities and services
  • Aerospace and defence

Dassault Aviation, which is now headed by Eric Trappier, employs nearly 12,000 people and has operations in more than 80 countries worldwide.

Among its military offerings are the: Dassault Aviation Mirage 2000

  • Mirage 2000 single-engine jet fighter
  • Rafale twin-engine jet fighter
  • nEUROn combat UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle)

However, the bulk of the company’s production lies in its immensely successful Falcon series of business jets. Due to Dassault’s military background, these luxury jets benefit from some of the most advanced technology and design innovation found anywhere in the world.

In fact, Dassault is currently the only company with tri-jet business jets in production. These include the:

  • Dassault Falcon 7X
  • Newly released Falcon 8X
  • Falcon 900

Here’s a closer look at some of the more popular offerings from Dassault that are widely used as private jet charters today…

  • Atlanta to Chicago
