"Falcon has come up with this idiot-proof system called 'smart throttle,' which means that you cannot shut down the wrong engine," Rushton, a former UK Royal Air Force SEPECAT Jaguar pilot, said. In this case, fighter jet technology can be found in the Falcon 10X cockpit as its two engines are controlled by a single throttle lever to prevent accidents and maximize engine efficiency. "The Falcon 10X is more theoretical than the Gulfstream G700 but the background to do it," Rushton said, noting that Dassault has a strong track record of business jets and often uses its fighter jet know-how in its business jets to give them a competitive edge. Gulfstream's G700 is currently in flight testing and hasn't yet had the chance to prove itself flying real-world clients.ĭassault's next flagship aircraft is still years away from leaving the ground but Rushton has no doubts about the French manufacturer's ability to deliver. Bombardier has the lead on both Gulfstream and Dassault with its Global 7500 that's been flying customers since December 2018.
