Incredible Falcon 8X performance at Death Valley's Star Wars Canyon

- In early January, we flew a mission to demonstrate the unique capabilities of the Falcon 8X in Star Wars Canyon-a proving ground in California for low-level, tactical fighters. This was not your everyday business jet mission-but this is not your everyday business jet. The same degree of care and precision that goes into designing and building a business jet that can perform the most demanding missions for its pilots also goes into designing and building an unmatched cabin experience with comfort, quiet, convenience, and connectivity for the passengers.

Just wanted to share with you what this video means to my step son who is 3.5y.o. He has loved this video for a long time now and can't stop watching it and asks for it all the time. It's now a daily routine that we watch this when I put him to bed instead of a bedtime story. I love the music and visuals but the narration is sort of stupid at times :)
Good idea. Get him started on his screen addiction early! 👍
Wonderful, and might I add, the camera work is beautiful.
Yes although I was hoping for more of a sensation of speed. It seemed to be almost in slow motion.

Done by cinejet by the looks of it
Thank you Flight Safety International for utilization of the Falcon 8X simulator and assisting with our “familiarization” of Starwars Canyon. Special thanks to Brian Henderson for initial support for our team.
is there any reason you couldn't do this in a clapped out citation ultra
“My god the French know how to build amazing airplanes”
Yep! And we are proud of it.
Big thanks to Scott Glaser of Aerospace Operations LLC. Gomex, we are extremely fortunate to have you as a friend, advisor, and safety pilot. CineJet, thank you for your outstanding support and beautiful camera work. You all make the 8X shine bright! Thanks to Brian Henderson from FSI. Many hours of prep with you in the 8X sim definitely helped make this happen. Thanks to our DFJ Flight Ops maintenance team (Tom, Rick, Mark, Matt and John) who keep us flying day in and day out. And last but not least, BIG thanks to the family (Samantha, Tommy and Ben) for your support through all the years and with helping make this dream come true!
Nothing will ever beat trijets for their looks and neat flight dynamics. My dad is a corporate pilot, so when I was younger I got to spend a good amount of time around the 50s and 900s. Now that I'm looking into getting a pilot's license in the future, I've been sim-learning the 50EX and it's absolutely fantastic.
'Reach for the sky'.
Was that a Dassault Falcon or was it the
Millinium Falcon for a day?
What a beautiful aircraft.
Incredible
I let out a gasp @1:52
Amazing work from the crew, the camera team and the designers.
Man I love the trijet design on any jet but the smaller private passenger jets look so cool. The older smallest model almost looks like a fighter this model is larger but it's got the amazing triple engine. And those curled wing tips I love them
A grateful thank you to Scott Glaser (CEO Aerospace Operations) our technical consultant and flight instructor for this unique mission! Scott’s professionalism, technical knowledge and support made this unique mission a complete success.
Outstanding! I wish I was in the cockpit with you. I would love to see the raw video from all the different cameras. While I have never been in any business jet while in flight, the 8X is my plane of choice if I ever have the money to buy one. 3 holers forever!
Thanks for the ride!
I am from Brazil.... We loved Falcon 8x .....Very very very very nice!!!!🇧🇷🏆🇧🇷🏆🇧🇷🏆🇧🇷🛩🛩🛩🛩
Love the trijet aircraft for its safety.
Fun Promo, for sure! Great job!
Beautifully done
my god the camera work is amazing
I love KIYK(Inyokern airport), so much happens there.
I love looking for Inyokern in car commercials and movies.
just a fighter as every Dassault A/C . i remember the Mercure ...
amazing fly by wire system
Really nice
And it has a 6,450 nautical mile range folks. So you could easily fly this from Boston or NY to Tokyo non stop and super fast. And also in luxury no less so that's pretty incredible.
Falcon jets are so impressive
Man that was amazing! loved the video
Damn that’s metal if i was rich i would pick falcon anyday
this video is mind blowing
Wahou tout simplement parfait 💪💪
I liked the part where they flew an airplane - in a canyon.
Definitely TOP GUN stuff. HARD POINTS are Optional.
They staged out KIYK. Same airport used in TopGun. Same L39 camera jets too.
Now take it through the Mach Loop!
great one
That’s cool
Would like to be in that plane would like to have a pilot suit like that awesome
Fantastic....👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😉
Awesome vid!
Wow, 😃
How bout flares and gatling cannons?🤔
Well that was fun!
...but were they inverted???
Yes!
Should have included macro shots of the button pushing to silence the egpws system.
I'm sure that system was about to have a melt down 😂
Sensational!
Love the 8X, hope Dassault management allows the guys to do the same with the 10X.
Good marketing from Dassault, they know how to reach their audience.
Take THAT, Gulfstream! So THERE!
:-)
Absolutely zero reason to do this with this type of plane. Except for Fantastic Fun! 🤗 So, let’s do it! 👏👏👏
AGCAS or TAWS onboard? Disabled?
Yikes. Don't tell the insurance company
Is this available in a longer form somewhere else? Would love to see more of this footage.
You have my first 62.5 million! ❤️
That's nothing, I used to do that in my T-16 back home.
Sick video though, seriously enjoyed. All the things you do in the sim, but in real life. Next up, I'd love to see a barrel roll.
Did you run it on a full tank of fuel? This is 🔥
I’d like to see the Citation 10 X fly through the canyon.
Great sales pitch it won't ever be flown like that by customers
How much. Like to buy one. In sha Allah.
👏
Starting north of $60million.
I dunno, based on past Flight Sim experience, I'd bet a Lear 35 could pull it off. :D
A 35 would be very unforgiving. One mistake and that's it. Not so with an 8X or a Dassault in general. I guess modern controls and anti-trouble systems also help a lot.
“This mission”, you’re so full of shit! This was a bunch of pilots screwin around, havin the time of their lives, like little kids in a candy store!
I’m jealous AF!🤣👍🏻
Narcos looking at the 8X like...hmmm
ya,,its like mars surface on rover live stream,,very agree,,perhaps earth older than mars
I used to work ATC at Joshua, preciously Edwards RAPCON.
"November 8 Xray is off of INYOKERN..." (not Indian current).
"Panamint Valley..." not panama valley.
They also said rotate V2 instead of V2 rotate. Haha, I think they just wanted to know if we were paying attention. And yes we were, cool video, easter eggs and all.
240 kts and accelerating to what? 245?
@@yehuda.r I noticed that too. But it's faster than a spam can.
@@msnpass2004 The callouts are V1, Rotate, V2. It is possible that V1 and Rotate could be the same number and they could reach V2(Engine-Out climb speed) at rotation considering it's a trijet and they were very lightly loaded for the short flight. "Rotate, V2" makes perfect sense.
I heard Inyokern and Panamint.
What type of aircraft was the chase plane?
L-39
@@andrewponzoni2921 Thanks! I just looked up some more footage.
I will buy it if I would suddenly become a billionaire
That’s cool but the Astra Sp did that a long time ago.
What's even more incredible is the C-17 and C-130 I've seen fly through the Canyon.
Most fun for was a empty L1011 Tristar
Send that through mach loop, a5 pass and lake district
GRANDIOS !!!!
I. Want. One.
This wouldn't have been possible without the khaki overalls.
Wahoo❤
At 240 kts entry speed, any well maintained small jet could do what was shown...BFD. Pure French cheeze wizz.
Over to you Gulfstream and Bombardier.
Next time, let us know, we will escort you in Fouga Magisters :)

Remote viewing is where you lack on

Ye
Isn't it forbidden to fly below the canyon's lip after the fatal 2019 crash?
not for general aviation
"I had a tremendous amount of confidence in the airplane and the crew"
But.....
I'll stay here because I know it's that safe they won't even crash it's basically pointless me going, so I'll stay here... 🤔
Release the boy 349 mph
Wow that's great awesome. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ 🌹🌹🌹
Reel❤
👍 p̲r̲o̲m̲o̲s̲m̲
Awesome..now do a G650.
It didn't respond anything like a fighter aircraft lol That thing was a slug
Watching it made me sick.....
“I just wouldn’t recommend it.” Too bad he can’t take his own advice. What is this, 1920 where we have to sell the public on the safety of flying? Maybe they could’ve added a wingwalker.
Reckless. If you’re a professional, that’s the only word for it.
Fun to think that current corporate pilots would never do this kind of stunt in the plane’s company. 😂
another Video destroyed with Music !!!! 🐔
If you want to fly low .. fly a dustbuster...each aircraft is designed for a specific profile.. whenever you put it in a different one, it's just trouble.. and a bad example
I really wonder what business jet use this is relevant to, unless it's for dodging SAMs. Do they offer a puke proof interior.? ;-) I just wonder if this airplane is obsolete or something, so they have to sell it by emotional appeal.
Photo Shopped faked?
I didn’t see the airplane do anything other than fly low level. No cool maneuvering was done. Boo
