10/31/2007. Developed from the Falcon 20F this aircraft was intended
as 30-seat airliner and as 8 to 15-seat business aircraft. The
original Falcon 20F wings were mated to a new lengthened fuselage with
a cabin width of 7 ft 8.9 in (2.36 m). Powered by two 6,070 lb (2,753
kg) st Avco Lycoming ALF 502D turbofan engines, the prototype made its
75 minutes lasting first flight from Bordeaux-Mérignac, France, on May
11, 1973, with Jean Coureau and Jerome Résal at the controls. The
project was cancelled in 1976 for financial and marketing reasons, the
prototype is preserved at the Conservatoire de l'Air et de l'Espace at
Bordeaux-Mérignac.
