Dassault Falcon 900 - trijets forever

Рет қаралды 149,697

Күн бұрын

The Dassault Falcon 900 is a business jet aircraft created by the French company Dassault in the mid-1980s. At one time, it was developed as a continuation of the concept of a medium business jet with three engines in the tail, which was represented by the Falcon 50. The new aircraft was distinguished by increased fuselage dimensions, greater capacity and flight range. The Falcon 900 has become one of the most successful business jets in its class, with more than 500 units delivered. Despite the fact that, technically, it is becoming obsolete and giving way to new models such as the Falcon 7X and 8X, production is still ongoing.

I fly a three engine Falcon. I used to fly Hawkers and Gulfstreams. They all have their pros and cons. The Falcon flies the nicest and has excellent runway performance but that giant empennage makes them a bit of a handful in a gusty crosswind, especially with the long, low wing. Fun fact: The 900 uses the 50's wing.

I worked for a large communications company and the 3 top people in that company came to my worksite in the Arctic. I asked the CEO about all 3 of them being on the plane together and he told me they only fly together if they were in a 3 engine jet. The Falcon had about the same footprint of a 737 but with a narrower fuselage. My first thought was most accidents happen during takeoff and landing and the number of engines doesn’t make a difference.

@minhpham-yh9qn Ай бұрын

There is an old joke in the piston era, about how many engines you need to be safe. The engineer tapped the captain on the shoulder and report engine number 24 failed, and the captain asked...........on which side?? Even with 4 engines, one Connie was almost dragged into the sea by a prop that refused to be feathered. The captain saved the plane by his idea of cutting off the oil to the prop and caused the shaft to seize and break. I doubt in today's glass cockpit, the pilots have controls of such fine details.

Sky after all your extra captions showing the Imperial measurement for metric units, you are still missing out thrust. The one thing I can't convert in my head. For everyone like me, 22.25 kilonewtons per engine is almost exactly 5,000lbs of thrust. As always, a great film. Looking forward to the lesser known soviet military aircraft. The Falcon was in the news this week as the RAF has a flight of them, one of which transported His Majesty King Charles III to Scotland.

@tonylam9548 Ай бұрын

The ETOPS considerations been less important by operating costs considerations. Twin engined planes had to be more powerful to meet FAA single engine climb requirement. When an engine of a twin failed, you lose by your figures about 50% of the power, but in real life, is actually closer to 60% , and the 3 engine about 40%, because not only the failed engine is not working, but is dead weight and drag and you cannot feather the first stage fan. Also, recent decades of engine failures have taught the industry it is not so much how many engines you have , but how it failed. Jets sometimes failed by exploding and one such explosion of an L1011 cut all three hydraulic systems, and the A380 engine failure damaged other vital systems, luckily it happened close to an airport, then there was the Airbus with a fuel leak over the Atlantic.

Actually a twin loses more like 60-65% of the relative thrust because of the drag the rudder deflection causes.

@danielrose1392 Ай бұрын

Not sure where you got these numbers from, but it's definitely not that bad for rear mounted jet engines. One advantage of this mounting position is a minimal leverage for the engine so asymetric thrust barely moves the plane. Worst are short and slow twin propeller planes. In these planes Those planes sometimes have a Vmc far above the (twin engine) stall speed. If you fly slower and an engine fails, you gut a huge problem. Depending on the type your rudder will cause too much drag and you can't accelerate without loosing altitued, or at full deflection of your rudder you won't be able to fly straight ahead. So yes, if you can't even use full thrust of your remaining engine, you are quickly left with very little thrust.

His explanation of loss of engine on takeoff is flawed. The certification requirements are such that with one engine out, a twin has a greater climb gradient capability than a tri, and a tri is greater than a quad. So you have greater excess thrust, one engine out, on a twin. All due to the way cert requirements drove the design.
