I've just an old drawing of the Falcon 30 in my collection of my own drawings,
although I think, I've seen the Falcon 40 somewhere ... but where ?

This regional jet was just ahead of its time. Oddly, the Mercure also began as an aft engined regional jet, albeit a slighly larger 50 seat aircraft.

...and was the first civilian aircraft with an HUD (30 years in advance...)
Only ten sold, in fact imposed to Air Inter (just like Concorde at the same time, by the Mercure was not glamourous and quickly forgotten...)
Aparently the Falcon-40 never went beyond the mockup stage...

Hey Gang

Has anybody got any pics of the proposed stretched variant of the Falcon 50? Apparently it was studied for several years, and would have involved adding additional frames to boost capacity. Eventually, it was decided to completely redesign the fuselage with resulting in a significantly wider cabin resulting in the Falcon 900.

Just wanted to add that the Mystere 30 (it's fuselage only, in fact) is part of the CAEA collection since 2005.

HI ALL

From aviation magazine...........

 

[hesham]

Thank you my dear Toura.

Dear Toura, thank you for the Aviation Magazine article.
Do I understand correctly that it says that the RR RB-172-51 engines were retained? I always thought that
F-WAMD had Lycoming ALF502-D engines?

 

[toura]

My dear Walter.
Yes you're right...the F-WAMD had Lycoming engines.
(Look photos and commantary, always from "aviation magazine")
but serie could have
RR RB 172.51 or if customer want, General electric CF 700
BYE

 

[toura]

Always for you my dear Walter.(from"DASSAULT PASSION)

 

[walter]

Thank you very much, dear Toura.
Makes the history of the "30" clear to me .
