DASSAULT FALCON 6X ENGINE CERTIFICATION

Pratt & Whitney Canada has been congratulated by Dassault Aviation’s chairman and CEO Eric Trappier on its PW800 engines.

The family of high-efficiency engines are set to power Dassault’s new extra widebody Falcon 6X including three of the Falcon 6X aircraft currently in flight-testing, of which there have been 150 flights to date accumulating over 500 hours of flight test hours.

“Pratt & Whitney Canada’s PW812D engine is a major step forward in fuel efficiency, maintainability and performance, and will help make the 6X a truly outstanding aircraft,” said Trappier.

The 6X continues to make steady progress toward planned type certification in late 2022.
