Dassault Aviation is displaying its Falcon 8X, 6X, and 2000LXS as well as full-scale models of the Next-Generation Fighter&nbsp;and the Falcon 10X cabin mock-up at this year’s Paris airshow. The 6X will take to the skies during the show—flown by Dassault test pilots—using a blend of 30 percent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) as part of Dassault's commitment to reach net-zero carbon emissions in 2050. The 10X will become the first 100 percent SAF-compatible Falcon when it enters service, likely in 2026 due to supply chain strains.
The Dassault static display will also feature a building dedicated to its collaborative air combat solutions and customer support services.&nbsp;On the military side, the Armée de l'Air et de l'Espace (French air and space force) will demonstrate the Rafale in flight.
“This 54th Paris Air Show will illustrate how we are looking to the future of our two main activities: military aviation, which defends our country and its allies&nbsp;and contributes to France’s sovereignty and Europe’s strategic autonomy, and business aviation, which connects companies with ever-greater efficiency, safety, and control of its environmental footprint, thanks in particular to SAF,” commented Eric Trappier, chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation.
Dassault Aviation also will appear at the Paris Air Lab, an exploration area dedicated to innovation, where company experts will exhibit&nbsp;work on decarbonized air transport and 4.0 production methods.
The company also will participate in the “L’Avion des Métiers” (professional careers airplane) and in the “L’Aéro Recrute” recruitment operation as the industry struggles to hire sufficient talent. The Dassault stand will feature a human resources section where people interested in aeronautical professions can consider&nbsp;career opportunities. Dassault Aviation this year plans to recruit&nbsp;1,000 employees in all fields, including design, production, support, and digital.
Dassault is collaborating with partners that help it advance the sector’s commitment to promoting diversity, encouraging women&nbsp;to take up technical and scientific careers, and supporting the retraining of disabled people in the aeronautical sector.

News and developments about airplanes, helicopters and unmanned air vehicles used in all varieties of operations, including airlines, military, business, commercial, general aviation and private.
