The Dassault Mystère/Falcon 10 is a early corporate jet developed by the French manufacturer Dassault Aviation. This light, medium-range business jet is powered by twin turbofan engines and features a cantilever, swept low-wing monoplane design with a swept cruciform tail. The airframe is made of aluminum monocoque construction, and the wing uses a supercritical airfoil optimized for high subsonic cruise speeds. Despite its numbering, it was developed after the Falcon 20, with its first flight on December 1, 1970, and deliveries starting in 1971. Often mistaken as a scaled-down version of the Falcon 20, the Dassault Falcon 10 was redesigned with a non-circular fuselage, new wing with slotted flaps, and simplified circuits. Originally powered by two General Electric CJ610 turbojets, it now uses two Honeywell TFE 731-2-1C engines, delivering 3,230 pounds of thrust and a range of 1,520 nautical miles. The upgraded engines significantly reduced fuel consumption by 50% at take-off and 33% at cruise speed. The Falcon 10 boasts a maximum payload of 1,975 pounds and a maximum cruise speed of 490 knots. The aircraft's avionics suite includes dual Collins VHF20A communications, dual VIR30A navigation, dual Collins FD109 flight directors, dual Collins DME 40, dual Collins ADF 60A automatic direction finder, Collins ALT 50 radar altimeter, Collins AP105 autopilot, Universal UNS-1M FMS and GPS, and Sperry Primus 400 color weather radar. The Dassault Falcon 10 has a cabin that accommodates five to six passengers in an executive configuration with four individual seats and a rear bench seat. It offers a spacious interior with dimensions of 12.9 feet in length, 4.8 feet in height, and 5 feet in width, including a lavatory and 12 cubic feet of baggage storage space. Notably, the Dassault Falcon 10 was the first civil aircraft to feature a fuselage reservoir in integral structure and the first in France to use a wing designed in three dimensions, similar to the Dassault Mercure airliner (equivalent to a Boeing 737). Production of the Falcon 10 ended in 1989, with a total of 226 jets built. Today, it is widely operated by corporations around the world, including in Canada, Croatia, France, and Morocco.

- Are there Falcon 10 empty leg flights available?
- SkyAccess currently has 0 upcoming Falcon 10 empty leg flights published across partner operators. Inventory turns over hourly as operators publish new positioning legs and existing legs are booked — set a saved-search alert on the model to be notified when new Falcon 10 empty legs appear.
- Is the Falcon 10 a safe aircraft to charter?
- The Falcon 10 is a type-certificated airframe. Safety at the trip level depends on the operator, not the airframe model — every operator on SkyAccess holds an active air carrier certificate (Part 135 in the U.S., or the equivalent authority abroad), and many carry additional third-party audits (ARGUS, Wyvern, IS-BAO). Check the operator's profile for their specific certification and audit history.
