Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N979JW, is a 2012-built Dassault Falcon 7X with serial number 184, operated by and registered to S C Johnson & Son Inc of Racine, Wisconsin. The type was manufactured by Dassault Aviation and delivered with a corporate ownership profile consistent with large-cabin executive use. Ownership has remained corporate under S C Johnson & Son Inc, and the aircraft’s US registration reflects ongoing operation from the company’s Midwest base. Valuation metrics list the airframe at approximately $52,000,000, indicating market positioning for a late-model long-range business jet in active corporate service.
The cabin is described in a typical 11-seat executive configuration allowing club, divan, or conference arrangements, which supports corporate transport and long-range point-to-point missions. Avionics are provided by the Falcon Enhanced Avionics System (EASy), delivering integrated flight management, enhanced situational awareness, and systems monitoring suited to single-crew relief concepts used on extended executive trips. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include transcontinental and intercontinental sectors enabled by a 5,950 nm range and high-altitude cruise at service ceilings to 51,000 ft, optimizing fuel efficiency and schedule reliability. Maintenance and operational considerations follow corporate-program standards for tri-engine Falcon platforms, with attention to PW307A engine support and EASy avionics updates.
The Dassault Falcon 7X family occupies the long-range, large-cabin niche with three-engine redundancy and transoceanic capability, targeting buyers who prioritize range, cabin comfort, and performance. Competing models in the segment include long-range offerings from Gulfstream and Bombardier, though the 7X’s three-engine design and Falcon EASy suite distinguish its operational profile. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize lifecycle support for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307A engines and the avionics upgrade path, which factor into the $52,000,000 valuation and continued demand in corporate flight departments and charter markets.
