Dassault Falcon recently opened two new state-of-the-art interior design and showroom centers intended to facilitate the selection of interior design solutions and options for Falcon customers.

Located at Paris-Le Bourget and Teterboro Airport, two of the busiest executive aviation airports in Europe and the US, the multimillion dollar facilities provide an innovative and pleasant interactive environment that allows customers to specify their aircraft interiors and pick and choose from available onboard equipment hardware and materials in the easiest and most efficient manner possible.

Specification areas are equipped with high-definition screens and advanced 3D tools that interface directly with Dassault's industry leading digital modeling software, greatly simplifying the cabin design process. Showrooms feature a stylish and elegant decor that permits seats, in-flight entertainment equipment, galley appliances, lighting, paneling and other interior features to be displayed in an environment reminiscent of a typical Falcon cabin. Design of the facilities drew heavily on ideas and suggestions from Falcon operators.

“The interior spec and design process has evolved greatly over the past several years with the wide use of digital tools, 3D processes like Dassault Systemes CATIA and a greatly expanded selection of options and new products,” said Eric Trappier, chairman and ceo of Dassault Aviation. “These new facilities enhance and streamline the total spec and design experience and bring it to a level that is unlike anything available in business aviation today. Our customers now have a very accurate vision of the aircraft interior they are designing, several months before the first part is manufactured.”

In addition to onboard equipment, the two facilities showcase a wide range of Falcon interiors including full scale or partial mockups of the Falcon 7X, 900LX and 2000 family aircraft and the new Falcon 5X very extra wide body twinjet.
