Falcon 900C Specifications
Performance
With a maximum range of approximately 4,000 nautical miles and a top operating speed of Mach 0.87, the Falcon 900C is designed for transcontinental, transatlantic, and high-utilization corporate 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 900C is powered by 3 Honeywell TFE731-5BR-1C turbofan engines, each rated at approximately 4,750 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 45,500 lbs, the Falcon 900C offers a high payload-to-range ratio.
