Falcon 50 Specifications
Performance
With a maximum range of approximately 3,150 nautical miles and a top operating speed of Mach 0.84, the Falcon 50 is designed for regional international and coast-to-coast missions. Its runway performance, service ceiling, and mature systems make it relevant for buyers comparing Falcon efficiency, airport access, acquisition cost, and mission capability.
Powerplant
The Falcon 50 is powered by 3 Honeywell TFE731-3-1C turbofan engines, each rated at approximately 3,700 pounds of thrust. The engine installation is central to the aircraft's identity, especially on Dassault's trijet models where climb performance, redundancy, and short-field confidence became key selling points.
Operating Weights
Operating weights dictate the structural limits and mission profile of the aircraft. With an MTOW of 38,800 lbs, the Falcon 50 offers a high payload-to-range ratio.
