Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N988H is a 2018-build Dassault Falcon 8X, manufacturer serial 446, registered in the US. This specific Falcon 8X is owned by Honeywell International Inc. (corporation) and carries a corporate ownership history rather than individual or fractional operation; no separate operator or home-base was published in the supplied data. The airframe is identified as a fixed‑wing multi‑engine business jet and is valued at $46,000,000, reflecting contemporary long‑range executive market pricing for low‑time examples of this type. Notable registry details are limited to its US registration and corporate ownership listing, with no additional public registry actions provided.

N988H is fitted in an executive long‑range cabin layout typical for the Falcon 8X family, sized to accommodate 8–12 passengers in configurable executive arrangements and specifically documented with 11 seats for this airframe; the cabin dimensions are approximately ~42 ft 8 in in length, 92 in in width and 74 in in height. The installed avionics suite is Dassault’s EASy system, noted as Honeywell Primus Epic‑based, which supports advanced flight management, situational awareness and integrated systems monitoring consistent with corporate flight operations. Operationally, the Falcon 8X’s long range and high cruise speed enable transcontinental and intercontinental point‑to‑point missions, corporate shuttle and executive transport roles; maintenance considerations for this airframe align with tri‑engine inspections and support for Honeywell‑sourced avionics and Pratt & Whitney Canada engine maintenance programs.

The Dassault Falcon 8X occupies the long‑range, ultra‑long‑range executive jet niche within Dassault’s trijet family, offering extended range and cabin volume relative to smaller Falcons. Competing models in its mission class include long‑range offerings from Gulfstream and Bombardier; buyer demand typically targets corporations and high‑end charter operators seeking transoceanic capability with lower runway restrictions. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2018 manufacture year, tri‑engine complexity, and valued factory avionics fit, all of which influence operating costs, maintenance scheduling and residual value in the pre‑owned market.
