Dassault Aviation unveiled a new cabin design on Monday for its Falcon 900LX at the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition in Orlando, Florida. The fully redesigned cabin features reduced noise levels, LED lighting, upgraded acoustics and enhanced connectivity and communications systems. The cockpit crew gets Dassault's new FalconEye combined vision system and an upgraded electronic flight bag. The changes combine the advantages of "a proven and tested platform" with "an advanced contemporary interior and cutting-edge cabin and cockpit enhancements," said Eric Trappier, CEO of Dassault Aviation. The 900LX, certified in 2010, is a large-cabin jet with a range of 4,750 nm.

Also at NBAA, Dassault's new Falcon 8X is making its first appearance with a completed interior, at the static display. The 8X entered service just last month. The company also is displaying a full-size mock-up of its 5X, a large-cabin, long-range twinjet expected to fly next year, with first deliveries in 2020. Also at the show, Olivier Villa, deputy director for civil aircraft, said the company is studying the possibility of adding an all-new business jet to its line. "We are working very hard [on the project]," Villa said, but offered no details.
