Abstract

Falcon 7X is manufactured by the French Dassault Aviation, which performed its first flight in 2005 was the first business jet fully equipped with fly by wire digital flight control system. That is considered to be a milestone in the life of Dassault Aviaton and in
the world of business jets as well. This achievement is the result of a long series of developments, which has become the benchmark of the 21st century in business aviation. This type of aircraft is widely used around the world, mostly in civil aviation, but in some countries it also strengthens the military fleet. In the Hungarian Defense Forces the Aviation Air Wing at Kecskemét operates two Falcon 7-s.
