Falcon 2000LXS

Two Falcon 2000s sit in this class and they are the same aeroplane inside: 314 in of cabin, 92 in across, 74 in high, ten seats, 131 cu ft of baggage across thirteen bags, 493 kt. The LXS separates itself on range — 4,000 nm against the 2000S's 3,350, a difference of 650 nm — and on the runway. Its takeoff distance is 4,675 ft, the shortest of the three verified takeoff figures we hold in this category, though with only three of eleven recorded that is offered as a fact about the aircraft rather than as a ranking against the rest.

Ten seats is the lowest capacity in this class, and that is the correct frame for the aircraft rather than a shortcoming. The Falcon 2000 cabin is 92 in across and 74 in high — taller than every Challenger and every Gulfstream here — and it puts that cross-section behind ten people instead of sixteen. The result is space per passenger that the capacity-led aircraft in this category do not offer. Dassault still builds the type. For a principal's party of eight to ten on a long sector into an airfield that would trouble a larger heavy jet, this is the aircraft the specification points at.
