Dassault Falcon 900B XA-SIM

Don't get me started ...

You can say that having a 3rd engine makes it 33% more reliable, or you can say that it's 33% more likely to have an engine fire.

Marcel Dassault himself once said that a properly shaped wing doesn't need winglets. Yet the new Dassault Falcon 7X has winglets.

And all those Frenchy Airbusses have winglets.

Boeing 747-8's and 787's don't have winglets.

 Ahem.

"XA" is Mexico.

And that map on the tail might be a Tobler Hyperelliptical Pseudocylindrical World Projection.

Not sure. Don't care.

  1. Elon Musk of SpaceX has or used to have one at HHR. She would scream above Prairie Avenue as she took off.
