Chapters
Hey Steve, can you teach me about Falcon jets? Falcon's made by a manufacturer called Dassault. They're a French manufacturing company. They started back from an old Falcon 20 series, but today the series usually is a large cabin airplane, which is a Falcon 2000 LXS. It goes into a 900 LX, which is like a 3-cabin airplane, and goes up to a Falcon 6X, and then there's an 8X, and then coming out with a 10X, which is going to be the largest cabin of all of them. They also make military jet fighters. They take a lot of the technology that they design for the military fighters and incorporate it into the corporate jets. Falcon is really known for short-field capabilities, so airplanes can take off and land on shorter runways.
