N20WK

The airframe bearing tail number N20WK is a 1974-built Dassault Falcon 20E-5, constructor serial 310, manufactured by Dassault Aviation. It is owned by the corporation ROYAL AIR FREIGHT INC, based in Waterford, MI, US, and is registered in the US. This specific airframe has been operated in a commercial freight/operator role and retains a typical convertible executive/cargo cabin configuration; registry entries identify it primarily with the Waterford home base and corporate freight operations rather than a passenger-only role.

The airframe is fitted with a typical 8–12 place executive/cargo convertible cabin, featuring a forward galley and an aft lavatory; commercial freight/operator layouts for this serial commonly vary and have been implemented on this aircraft to suit mixed cargo and executive missions. Operated from its Waterford, Michigan base by ROYAL AIR FREIGHT INC, the Falcon 20E-5 on registry N20WK is used in short to medium cross‑country freight and charter profiles consistent with its 1,808 nm range and 405 kts cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this unit align with the twin turbofan TFE731 series fleet practices, with particular attention to engine hot-section and accessory inspections typical of aircraft of its vintage. The cabin’s convertible nature supports rapid role changes between passenger carriage and light freight missions without major reconfiguration.

As a member of the Dassault Falcon 20 family, the Dassault Falcon 20E-5 occupies a mid-size business jet niche with performance well suited to high-speed regional transport and light freight conversion. Its competitors historically include early-model business jets and converted commuter types offering similar payload-range tradeoffs. Buyers and charter operators seeking airframes like serial 310 typically value the robust TFE731 turbofan reliability, straightforward systems, and convertible cabin flexibility; resale and maintenance considerations reflect the airframe’s 1974 manufacture date and the ongoing availability of service support for the Falcon 20 series.
