French firm Dassault brought a model of its Falcon 10X private jet to the Paris Air Show.
It’s not due to go into service until 2025, but the cabin tour showed just how luxurious it’ll be.
With a shower onboard and a 6 feet 8 inches tall cabin, it’s nicknamed “the penthouse of the skies.”

It’s not due to go into service until 2025, but the cabin tour still shows how luxurious it will be.

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

As an ultra-long-range jet which can travel 7,500 miles with a top speed of Mach .925 (around 710 miles-per-hour), it is competing with the likes of the Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700.

Starting in the rear, the bathroom is bigger than in some apartments.

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

Moving into the bedroom, the 9 feet 1 inch wide cabin leaves plenty of room.

The cosy-looking bed would be a necessity for ultra-rich clients on long-haul flights – and looks even more comfortable than business class.

The next section was dedicated to watching TV.

With this nice little couch opposite, including some storage areas underneath to maximize the use of space.

Then you move into the main seating area, which included eight chairs in this layout.

They were very comfortable and with a sleek modern design that looked unique compared to a typical plane seat.

And it includes tables which fold out from the side, whether for dinner or work — with the one on the left set up with an iPad.

Plus some small storage compartments beneath the windows.

The four-person layout looked just as opulent.

There were buttons next to all the seats, including two light switches and a way to request a flight attendant.

The Falcon 10X was decorated with several books, like these about Yves Saint Laurent and Jean Paul Gaultier.

They added to the luxury atmosphere in the jet, which a Dassault spokesperson told Insider was nicknamed “the penthouse of the skies.”

Small control panels were in most of the sections too.

They included apps to control the temperature and lights in the cabin, a map of the jet, and Falcon SkyView which uses external cameras to stream the view.

The last section before the cockpit was the galley to prepare food and drink.
Pete Syme/Insider
That included a small sink, and plenty of counter space where a box of expensive Pierre Marcolini chocolates had been laid out.

Plus a good amount of cabinet space for glasses, and a coffee maker.

And two convection ovens to get a proper dining experience.
Taylor Rains/Insider
You’ll find a door and a mirror just opposite that.

And finally, the cockpit itself.

Dassault says the flight deck will use a digital flight control system derived from its military technology. And with its FalconEye combined vision system, the 10X “will be capable of operating in essentially zero ceiling/visibility conditions.”
