When French firm Dassault introduced its new Falcon 10X private jet at the Paris Air Show, spectators were wowed by its incredible features – including a very spacious 203cm tall cabin

Nicknamed the ‘penthouse of the skies’, this luxurious aircraft features a bedroom, bathroom, seating area with Yves Saint Laurent and Jean Paul Gaultier books and is comparable to the Gulfstream G700

French firm Dassault just brought a model of its Falcon 10X private jet to the Paris Air Show, which took place from June 19 to 26. It’s not due to go into service until 2025 – but the cabin tour showed just how luxurious it’ll be.

With a shower on board and a 203cm (6 ft 8 inches) tall cabin, it’s nicknamed “the penthouse of the skies”.

As an ultra-long-range jet that can travel 12,000km (7,500 miles) with a top speed of Mach .925 (around 1,142 km/h or 710mph), it is competing with the likes of the Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700.

Here’s what the US$75 million Dassault Falcon 10X will look like when it does take to the skies.

The bathroom

The Falcon 10X’s cabin is its greatest asset. At 203cm (6 ft 8 inches) tall, it has an extra 12.7cm (five inches) on the G700.

Starting in the rear, the bathroom is bigger than in some flats. It even includes a shower – a rarity only found on the most lavish private jets. It’s a big shower too, with a space to sit down and check out the view.

The shower room has a seat so guests can sit down and admire the outside views.

The marble floor adds to the luxury, with a toilet that would look more at home in a hotel than a plane.
