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.
