Falcon 2000EX

Re-engined variant certified in 2003 with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C turbofan engines.[3]

Falcon 2000EX EASy

Marketing designation for a 2000EX with an enhanced avionics system and changes to pressurisation and oxygen systems, certified in 2004. Undertook steep approach trials at London City Airport on 18 March 2010, becoming the first Dassault twin-jet to visit apart from the much older, diminutive Dassault Falcon 10.[2]

Falcon 2000DX

Updated model certified in 2007[2] and based on the 2000EX EASy with the same PW308C turbofans.[5]

Falcon 2000LX

Longer-range 2009[2] variant of the Falcon 2000EX EASy, with the addition of Aviation Partners Blended Winglets, giving it a range capability of 4,000 nautical miles (7,400 km).[6] The same winglets are certified for the entire Falcon 2000 series as a retrofit kit.

Falcon 2000S

Variant which began testing in 2011 with short field characteristics.[7] Landing distance has been reduced to 705 meters, opening up 50% more airports than other aircraft in this class.[8] Compared to the $5 million more expensive LXS, the S range is shorter by 500 mi (800 km; 430 nmi) by restricting its fuel capacity to 14,600 lb (6,600 kg). It burns 2,350–2,400 lb (1,070–1,090 kg) of fuel in the first hour and 1,600–1,650 lb (730–750 kg) afterwards, and can take off in 4,325 ft (1,318 m) at sea level on a standard day. In 2021, its equipped price was $28.8M.[9]

Falcon 2000LXS

Replacement for the long-range 2000LX to be offered in 2014, adding the short-runway features of the 2000S.[10][11] In 2021, its equipped price was $35.1M.[9]
