Development
The aircraft has over 165 orders to date,[1]. It has received its Type certification from both FAA and EASA on 27 April 2007 [2]. A Type Certificate, is awarded by aviation regulating bodies to aerospace manufacturers after it has been established that the particular design of a civil aircraft engine or propeller The Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA) is an agency of the United States Department of Transportation with authority to regulate and oversee all aspects of European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA is an agency of the European Union (EU with offices in Cologne, Germany, which has been given specific regulatory Events 1124 - David I becomes King of Scotland. 1296 - Battle of Dunbar: The Scots are defeated Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century.

In 2001, the Falcon 7X, at approximately $35 million, was nearly $10 million cheaper than its nearest competitors in the long range, large cabin market segment, the Gulfstream G550 and Bombardier Global Express.

Design
It is the first fully fly-by-wire business jet. Aircraft flight control systems consist of Flight control surfaces, the respective cockpit controls connecting linkages and the necessary operating mechanisms to control It is also equipped with the same avionics suite, the Honeywell Primus EPIC "Enhanced Avionics System" (EASy), that was used on the Falcon 900EX and later on the Falcon 2000EX.
The Falcon 7X is notable for its extensive use of computer aided design, claiming to be the "first aircraft to be designed entirely on a virtual platform" [5], using Dassault Systemes CATIA and PLM products. Dassault Systemes ( Dassault Systèmes SA) (daˈso () is a leading company specializing in 3D and PLM ( Product Lifecycle Management) CATIA (Computer Aided Three Dimensional Interactive Application is a multi-platform CAD / CAM / CAE commercial software suite developed by Product lifecycle management ( PLM) is the process of managing the entire lifecycle of a product from its conception through design and manufacture to service
