Dassault Aviation has selected GE Aviation to provide the
Primary and solid state Secondary Electrical Power Distribution and
Control System for the recently launched Dassault Falcon 10X
aircraft.
“The Primary and Secondary Power Distribution System on the
Falcon 10X system is a next generation design providing significant
weight savings over conventional architecture with equipment
reduction,” said Brad Mottier, president of Systems for GE
Aviation.
The Primary and Secondary Electrical Power Distribution and
Control System for the Falcon 10X will have increased flexibility,
enabling Dassault’s rapid implementation for customer-specific
configurations. The system architecture will allow ease of
in-service modification and implementation, while improving the
maintainability of the system.
The system is supported by a suite of configuration tools,
providing Dassault the capability to make system changes
efficiently, creating more flexibility within the aircraft cabin
configuration.
“We are honored to partner with Dassault on this amazing
aircraft. We’re building on decades of experience producing
electrical power systems on military and commercial applications
and are working with Dassault to bring the latest technology to
market for their customers,” said Joe Krisciunas, general manager
of Electrical Power for GE Aviation.
GE will utilize its Electric Power Integration Center (EPIC) in
Cheltenham, UK where it will employ state of the art dynamic
software modeling, simulation and analysis to predict how the
system and its individual components will perform, including full
system testing within a copper-bird environment. GE will perform
all electrical power system certification testing within the EPIC,
on behalf of Dassault, preparing and delivering the necessary
documentation as part of Dassault’s aircraft certification
submission to EASA.
“By using this state-of-the-art lab, GE will reduce development
risk and program time scales prior to aircraft introduction,” added
Krisciunas.
Dassault Aviation’s new Falcon jet will deliver a level of
comfort, versatility, and technology unmatched by any purpose-built
business jet. Featuring a range of 7,500 nautical miles and a top
speed of Mach 0.925, the Falcon 10X will fly nonstop from New York
to Shanghai, Los Angeles to Sydney, Hong Kong to New York or Paris
to Santiago. The Falcon 10X will enter service at the end of
2025.
