Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N87RT, is a 1977-built Dassault-Breguet Falcon 10 with manufacturer's serial number 106. The aircraft was manufactured by Dassault Aviation and is recorded as owned by the corporation PREMIER LJ40 INC of Wilmington, DE, US, operating on a United States registration. Acquisition by PREMIER LJ40 INC is the primary documented ownership event in the available data; other registry transfers or notable actions are Not published. The listed market valuation for this specific airframe is $255,000, reflecting an asset in the late-production vintage business jet category rather than a modern-equivalent valuation.
The cabin for this Falcon 10 airframe follows the executive family standard, typically outfitted in an executive 6–8 passenger layout; the specific interior is documented as accommodating 7 seats for this example. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to mid-range executive transport within its 1,800 nm range and high-speed cruise at approximately 428 kts, commonly flown from bases consistent with its US registration. Avionics fit and specific onboard systems are Not published for this serial, so maintenance considerations rely on the known Garrett TFE731-2C twin-engine configuration and vintage airframe logistics. Owner-based operations from Wilmington, Delaware imply regional executive or light charter usage patterns and routine maintenance under US civil aviation oversight.
The Dassault-Breguet Falcon 10 family occupies a light-cabin, transcontinental business jet niche with a high-altitude capability to 45,000 ft, offering performance attractive to buyers seeking speed and climb in a compact platform. Competitors historically include other light business jets of the era; resale demand tends to be limited by age and systems obsolescence, which is reflected in a modest valuation of $255,000 for this specific airframe. Maintenance and parts considerations for the Garrett TFE731-2C engines and airframe age are primary factors affecting continued operational viability and buyer interest.
