Model & Market Context
This entry covers the individual airframe bearing tail number N78CY, a 2000-built, serial 79, Dassault Falcon 900EX. The airframe is recorded as owned by WKC CORP (a corporation based in Saint Louis, MO, US) and carries a United States registration (US). The aircraft’s condition and market valuation are noted at $11,500,000, reflecting its year and configuration in contemporary appraisals. No other changes of ownership or notable registry actions are published for this specific airframe.
The airframe configured with 21 seats indicates a high-capacity cabin layout for a long-range trijet, suggesting a mix of executive and high-density seating depending on operator fit. Specific cabin amenities, interior refurbishment history, or avionics fit are not published for this serial, so configuration assumptions are limited to typical roles for the model. With a range of 4,500 nm and a cruise speed near 447 kts, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and transoceanic corporate missions flown from its operator base in Saint Louis, Missouri. Maintenance considerations reflect the trijet Honeywell TFE731-60 powerplant arrangement, which combines redundancy with type-specific support and inspection intervals for three-engine installations.
The airframe is an example of the Dassault Falcon 900EX family, which occupies a long-range, large-cabin niche among fixed-wing multi-engine business jets. With a service ceiling to 51,000 ft and intercontinental range, the model competes with other large-cabin long-range business jets; buyer and charter demand typically values proven range and cabin capacity. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on triple-engine logistics, parts and shop visits for Honeywell TFE731-series engines, and the market valuation reported at $11,500,000 for this 2000-built serial 79 example.
