news at the NBAA convention...?

[jetopa]

Since this is a rumours network:

does anybody have a clue (or know somebody who knows somebody who has heard something) about what Dassault is going to present in Las Vegas in October?

How big? How fast? How much range? FBW or not? How many engines? Can't wait...

[pascualito]

My money is on:

8X

For the rest, wait and see

The big announcement will be that Dassault has found winglets to be an aerodynamic improvement after a three trial and 25 years of denying because they didn't invent them.

I think that the new ones will come straight from the factory with a new Dassault invention called the "Autopilot disconnect" mounted somewhere they feel appropriate.

Whatever it is it needs to be something with a LARGE cabin this time....

[south coast]

And a vacuum type toilet.

[CaptainProp]

I believe vacuum toilet is already available on the 7X though...? Been told there's an HB registered aircraft flying around with one installed.

loads of electrics everywhere, certified 2017.... Even the engines are starting electrically not flying yet, mid-september...
