perhaps I'm mistaken but I could swear I've seen a youtube video of the above exceeding Mach, albeit illegal. Is my memory faulty or can someone point me to this please?
There is a video of a Falcon 50 hitting Mach 0.97... with a Dassault test pilot at the controls: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7ojhYSSMKc]High Mach Flight - Dassault Falcon 50 - YouTube[/ame] I'm not aware of one for the X, but I'd like to see it if it exists.
Falcon 50 is a sweet airplane, the original is over 30 years old... don't remember the year, they brought a "green" one over for the NBAA in Atlanta, they set a few records on that trip... got to fly it on demo... impressive, even unfinished... their order book was filling up fast at the time...
Thank you, this is the vid I recall. It was suggested to me that perhaps it was the X I saw. G650 has done Mach+ in tests

I have about 800 hours in Falcon 50s-- one of my all time favorite airplanes. I still miss flying them.
