N401JW

This article concerns airframe N401JW, a corporate light jet built as a Dassault Falcon 10 by Dassault Aviation in 1975 bearing serial number 46. The airframe is recorded as owned by the corporation Hudson Flight Limited and carries a US registration; no prior ownership timeline or operator base is published in the provided data. Registry entries and listings note a market valuation and condition summary with an approximate price of $450,000 tied to the airframe's configuration and age. Maintenance records, ferry movements, and notable incidents are not provided in the supplied dataset.

The specific cabin of N401JW is outfitted in an executive configuration typically described as a 4–7 passenger layout with a forward galley, mid-cabin seating, and an aft lavatory/baggage area, consistent with the type’s common interior arrangements. Avionics listings for this airframe cite a typical Collins suite—Collins flight directors/autopilot, Collins communications/navigation packages and Sperry/Collins weather radar variants have been reported in sale and listing descriptions. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include short- to medium-range corporate point-to-point transport within the aircraft’s 1,920 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of about 494 kts; operator base and specific routings for N401JW are not published. The two Garrett TFE731 engines are noted for their commonality in the light-jet market, with associated maintenance considerations on older TFE731-2 series installations affecting overhaul planning and operating economics.

The Dassault Falcon 10 is positioned as a light, twin-engine business jet offering transcontinental point-to-point capability for small corporate groups; the supplied performance figures (notably a 45,000 ft ceiling and near-500 kt cruise) reflect the model’s niche as a fast, long-legged light jet in its era. Competing types in the market include other late-1970s light business jets; resale demand for an airframe like N401JW is influenced by age, engine series commonality, avionics fit, and the aircraft’s recorded $450,000 valuation. Maintenance and resale considerations center on the airframe’s vintage manufacture year (1975), TFE731-2 series engine support, and the cost of avionics upgrades to contemporary standards.
