Dassault Aviation’s Falcon 6X is nearing its entry into service as Pratt & Whitney Canada secures Transport Canada’s approval for its PW812D engine, a member of the PW800 family known for high-efficiency. This engine has been selected to power Dassault’s new extra-widebody Falcon 6X. The PW812D engine is currently propelling all three Falcon 6X aircraft involved in flight-testing.
The ongoing test campaign has accumulated over 500 flight test hours and 150 flights, with test pilots expressing commendation for the aircraft’s smooth handling. The program is steadily progressing towards its anticipated type certification, scheduled for late 2022.
