The first deliveries of 5X had to be pushed back to 2020, which prompted at least 12 customers to cancel their orders for the $45 million jet.
After a three-year delay of the Safran Sivercrest engine that was aggravated in 2017 by more technical problems for the Falcon 5X, Dassault decided to scrap the aircraft and start fresh with a new jet powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada engines. In a press announcement, Dassault Chairman and CEO Eric Trappier said, “There is still a strong market need for a brand new long range aircraft with a very large cabin, so I have decided to launch a new Falcon project powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada engines, featuring the same cross section as the Falcon 5X, a range of 5,500 nm, and scheduled to enter into service in 2022.”
