Dassault Falcon 20
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dassault Falcon 20 was the first of a family of business jets built by French aviation manufacturer Dassault. It was also one of the first corporate jets designed, with development going back to the 1950s. The improved Falcon 200 featured more advanced jet engines and other major improvements to increase range, capacity and comfort. The aircraft proved to be so popular that production did not end until 1988, being superseded by more advanced developments of the Falcon family. The United States Coast Guard operates a model called the HU-25 Guardian which is used as a high-speed spotter aircraft to locate shipwreck survivors and direct slower-moving aircraft and rescue vessels, and interdict aerial and shipbourne drug trafficking. Later developments of the Falcon 20 include the Falcon 50, an improved three-engined development.
