The large cabin Falcon 900LX is based on the Falcon 900EX, with enhanced performance and economy. The Falcon 900LX burns 35 to 40 percent less fuel than other aircraft in its class thanks to advanced light weight structures, an extremely efficient wing as well as Aviation Partners Inc.’s blended winglets. At its Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW), the Falcon 900LX climbs to FL390 (39,000 feet) in just 20 minutes.
“The Falcon 900 LX delivers the next evolution of enhancements to the successful Falcon 900EX,” said John Rosanvallon, President and CEO of Dassault Falcon. “The improvements to its range, performance and efficiency set the standard in its class and make it a highly desirable business tool.”

Diamond DA42 NG
I have a whole website dedicated to the operational costs and comparison of those cost for aircraft.
There are many factors that go into owning a plane and the fact that buying it may be the cheapest part, well the cost of fuel is definitely one if not the most expensive part! I would love to see this technology along with the electric technology continue to develop in aviation, not just for the ‘green effect’ which is great, but for the lowering of so many costs across the board that effect us from the price of fuel and flying. Good luck and great job Bertrand!
