The NBAA IFR fuel reserve calculation is for a 200nm alternate. Note: For business jets, ‘Four Pax Range’ represents the maximum IFR range of the aircraft at long range cruise. Both jets can cover all of North and Central America, reaching into parts of South America.ĬHART B: Dassault Falcon 2000 vs Gulfstream G200 Range Comparison eight in executive configuration).Ĭhart B, using Wichita, Kansas, as the origin point, shows that the Falcon 2000 offers less range coverage than the Gulfstream G200 (3,052nm vs 3,367nm), with both aircraft carrying four passengers and available fuel. It’s worth noting that despite its smaller cabin volume, the Gulfstream G200 provides a higher seating capacity (ten vs. externally) compared to the Gulfstream G200 (25 cu.ft. Meanwhile, the Falcon 2000 provides less luggage volume (with no space internally, and 134 cu.ft. Not depicted in the chart, the Falcon 2000’s cabin length is greater at 31.2ft, compared to 24.5ft aboard the G200. However, the Falcon 2000 cabin offers a flat floor design, unlike the Gulfstream G200.ĬHART A: Dassault Falcon 2000 vs Gulfstream G200 Cabin Cross-Section Comparison vs 7.2 ft.), but marginally less cabin height (6.2 ft. Chart A, courtesy of UPCAST JETBOOK, offers a cabin cross-section comparison and shows the Falcon 2000 has more width than the Gulfstream G200 (7.7 ft. By comparison, the Gulfstream G200 has less cabin volume, at 868 cu.ft.
The Falcon 2000’s cabin volume is 1,028cu.ft. TABLE A: Dassault Falcon 2000 vs Gulfstream G200 Payload Comparison The Falcon 2000’s ‘Available payload with Maximum Fuel’ (1,096lbs) is significantly more than that offered by the Gulfstream G200 (600lbs). Geographically, 76% of the Gulfstream G200 fleet is based in the US.Ī potential operator should focus on payload capability as a key factor, as depicted in Table A. The Gulfstream G280 replaced it, with deliveries beginning in 2012.Īt the time of writing, there were 237 Gulfstream G200 business jets in operation worldwide, 14 of which were in shared ownership arrangements. Ten years later, the final G200 rolled off the production line in 2011, after 250 units had been built. When the deal closed, GD placed the family of aircraft with Gulfstream, renaming the IAI 1126 Galaxy the Gulfstream G200. In May, 2001 General Dynamics (GD) announced the acquisition of Galaxy Aerospace from Israel Aerospace Company (IAI) which included the type certificates for the entire family of aircraft. Powered by a pair of 5,700lbst Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306 powerplants, this model was designed to seat 8 to 10 passengers in a stand-up cabin. The IAI 1126 Galaxy first flew on Christmas Day, 1997, and deliveries began in 1999. Geographically, 80% of the Falcon 2000 fleet is based in the US.
FALCON 2000 PRO
It features a large stand-up cabin, General Electric CFE738-1-1B engines, and a Collins Pro Line 4 integrated avionics suite.Īt the time of writing, there were 221 Dassault Falcon 2000 business jets in operation worldwide, seven of which were in shared ownership arrangements, and five in fractional ownership programs. The twin-engine Falcon 2000 is a slightly smaller development of the Falcon 900 tri-jet, with transcontinental range. First flight came four years later in 1993, and the aircraft entered service in 1995. We’ll consider productivity parameters (including payload, range, speed, and cabin size), and give consideration to their current market values.Īccounting for the used pricing of the two featured jets, how much additional range, speed, and cabin volume would an extra $1.9m purchase? This is one of the questions we will seek to answer…ĭassault originally introduced the Falcon 2000 as the Falcon X in 1989. Over the following paragraphs, we’ll analyse the performance of the Dassault Falcon 2000 and Gulfstream G200 to see how they compare in the market. How will the Dassault Falcon 2000 jet compare with the Gulfstream G200? In this month’s Aircraft Comparative Analysis, Mike Chase provides information on a pair of popular pre-owned Super Mid-Size business jets.
