Where the Falcon 2000LXS fits
A wide body cabin on a short field wing. Inboard slats let it use runways that shut out most aircraft with this cabin volume.
Super midsize aircraft are the smallest class that reliably crosses the United States nonstop against a winter headwind with a full cabin. Flat floors, six foot ceilings and a real galley are standard through the class.
On a 1,000 nautical mile sector the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS plans out near 2h 28m. Push it to 2,000 nautical miles and you are looking at roughly 4h 35m, which it covers nonstop.
The cabin measures about 6.2 ft high by 7.7 ft wide across 26.2 ft of length. That is a genuine stand up cabin for nearly every adult.

Published city pairs the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS covers without a fuel stop, using under 80 percent of its book range so a full cabin does not change the answer.
Questions
About the Falcon 2000LXS
How many passengers does the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS carry?
Typical charter seating is 10. Maximum certificated seating can be higher, but the practical number falls once baggage and sector length are counted, because seats and fuel compete for the same weight allowance. On a short leg you may fit the full 10. On a leg near the range limit you will not.
What is the range of the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS?
Published maximum range is 4,000 nautical miles, about 7,408 km. Plan real missions at roughly 80 percent of that figure with a full cabin. Headwinds, a hot departure field and high elevation all reduce it further, which is why we flag legs above that threshold for operator confirmation.
How fast is the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS?
Typical cruise is 482 knots, which is about 555 mph. On a 1,000 nautical mile sector that works out near 2h 28m block to block once taxi, climb and descent are included. Short sectors run proportionally slower because the aircraft never settles at cruise.
What runway length does the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS need?
Balanced field length at maximum takeoff weight, sea level, standard temperature is about 4,675 ft. That is the best case. Add elevation, add heat, add a wet runway, and the requirement grows, which is the mechanism behind most weight restrictions at mountain airports on summer afternoons.
Does the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS have a lavatory?
Enclosed lavatory. It is a separate compartment with a door, not a curtained seat.
