The Dassault Falcon 50 is a French super mid-sized, long-range corporate jet, unique in the corporate jet world for its three jet engine layout. It is essentially a development of the earlier Falcon 20 with a third engine. The Falcon 50 was later replaced by the Falcon 50EX, still currently in production. The Falcon 50EX features improved engines and other enhancements to give further range improvements to an already long-legged jet. It remains a very popular corporate jet for its long-range, luxury, and for the recognition of status for owning a fast three-engined jet.
A development of the Falcon 50 is the Falcon 900 featuring a larger fuselage and the same three-engine arrangement.
Dassault and Aviation Partners Inc. have announced that High Mach Blended Winglets are being developed for the Falcon 50 as a retrofit kit.
