The $75M Jet With a Fighter Jet's Brain — Dassault Falcon 10X (2029)

The Dassault Falcon 10X is the widest, tallest business jet ever built — and at $75 million, it's priced to go straight after the Gulfstream G700 and Bombardier Global 7500. It flew for the first time in June 2026 over Bordeaux. So why won't anyone take delivery until 2029? In this episode we break down what that $75 million actually buys: a 9-foot-1-inch cabin with four customizable zones, 38 oversized windows, a 3,000-foot cabin altitude, and fly-by-wire upset protection adapted straight from the Rafale fighter. Then we get into the part most videos skip — the real cost of ownership, and the certification bottleneck that has pushed this program back three separate times.
