Model & Market Context

This airframe is recorded as N73KT, a Dassault-built long-range business jet delivered in 2012 with factory serial number 146. The aircraft is a Dassault Falcon 7X manufactured by Dassault Aviation and is registered in the US. Ownership is held by the corporation AMERITEX AVIATION LLC, based in Seguin, TX, US, and the airframe is noted in registries as corporately owned with no public change-of-operator history disclosed beyond that registration. At the time of the most recent valuation the airframe is estimated at $23,000,000, consistent with a 2012-build, long-range trijet in executive configuration.

The listed cabin fit for this specific airframe is an 11-seat executive layout; operator-specific configuration details beyond that designation are not published. As a corporate-registered Falcon 7X, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include transcontinental and intercontinental business travel consistent with its 5,950 nm ferry range and high-speed cruise capability of 529 kts, enabling non-stop flights between major business centers. Avionics and specific in-service equipment for N73KT are not detailed in the available record; maintenance and operational oversight would be managed by the owner/operator based in Seguin, TX, and follow Dassault-recommended heavy-check cycles for tri-engine Falcon airframes. The trijet arrangement and PW307A engines require specialized maintenance support relative to twin-engine peers.

The Dassault Falcon 7X occupies the ultra-long-range business jet niche within Dassault’s product line, offering three-engine redundancy, high cruise speeds, and a 51,000 ft service ceiling that supports favorable direct routings. Competing models in the same mission band include other long-range bizjets, though the tri-jet layout and cabin flexibility set the 7X apart from many twin-engine competitors. For buyers and charter operators, considerations include higher maintenance complexity for three engines and specialized support for the PW307A powerplants, balanced against robust range and resale value; the noted valuation of $23,000,000 for this 2012 serial 146 reflects those market factors.
