Product Overview
The large-cabin Falcon 900LX is the latest in the Falcon 900 series. This newest model offers an improved range and less fuel consumption than its predecessor, the Falcon 900EX. The addition of winglets designed by Aviation Partners reduces drag and thereby cuts fuel burn by 5% to 7% while also reducing time to climb as compared to the Falcon 900EX.
As of March 2021, 36% of the Falcon 900LX aircraft were purchased pre-owned by their current owners, the other 64% new. 6.2% are for sale with all of those (100%) under an exclusive broker agreement. When for sale the average time on the market is 175 days.
