Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail N314TW is a Dassault Falcon 20E built in 1974, serial number 314. It is owned by SIERRA AMERICAN CORPORATION, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the United States. The airframe has been completed in a cargo conversion; this freighter configuration and U.S. registry are notable registry actions for this specific Falcon 20E. Valuation and detailed condition reports are not published for this individual aircraft.
This specific Dassault Falcon 20E operates as a freighter following a dedicated cargo conversion; the cabin has been reconfigured for payload rather than passenger comfort. Typical operations for this aircraft type in cargo trim include short-to-medium range freight runs consistent with its 1,810 nm range and cruise speed of 405 kts, often on point-to-point missions from its operator’s base in Wilmington, DE. Avionics fit for individual airframes can vary, but cargo-configured Falcon 20Es generally prioritize basic transport instrumentation and cargo-handling equipment over passenger amenities. Maintenance considerations for this airframe include attention to aging airframe components and the CF700-series engines’ support and shop visit cycles.
The Dassault Falcon 20E sits in the light-to-medium business jet category but, in cargo conversion, fills a niche for compact freighter missions where runway performance and speed are valued. Competitors in the cargo/conversion market historically include smaller turbofan-converted business jets and light twin freighters offering similar payload-range trade-offs. Buyer demand for converted Falcon 20Es tends to focus on operators needing robust short-duration freight capability; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on airframe hours, engine condition for the CF700 series, and the quality of the conversion work.
