Falcon 50
Three engines, one ocean — the 1979 original that invented the intercontinental Falcon.
Transcontinental and island legs with trijet assurance, at a considered figure.
The Falcon 50 created a segment: the first purpose-built long-range trijet, certified in 1979, pairing transoceanic confidence with short-field manners nothing its size could match. Three hundred and fifty-two were built across three decades, the later 50EX adding more efficient engines and a touch more reach.
It remains a connoisseur's charter: roughly 3,250 nautical miles, nine seats, a five-foot-eleven cabin — and the singular reassurance of a third engine over the long, empty water that defines Australian flying.

Frequently asked
Why choose a Falcon 50 today?
Character and capability: three engines for the overwater legs, a take-off run under 5,000 feet for the tight strips, and around 3,250 nautical miles of honest range — Sydney–Perth or Bali non-stop — at a figure younger metal cannot approach.
How many passengers does it carry?
Nine in the typical three-lounge arrangement, with a maximum of ten. The cabin stands five-foot-eleven — snug against its 900-series descendants, generous against anything else at the figure.
What is the difference between the Falcon 50 and 50EX?
The EX, from 1997, brought more efficient TFE731-40 engines and modern avionics — around 3,250 nautical miles against the original's roughly 3,000, with the same airframe and manners.
