The Dassault Falcon 5X was an ambitious twin-engine business jet that became one of aviation's most notable developmental failures, representing the challenges of modern aircraft engine integration. First flown in 2017 after four years of delays, it was a twin-turbofan configuration designed to carry eight passengers over 5,200 nautical miles. Measuring over 64 feet in length with a wider cabin than the successful Falcon 7X, the aircraft was powered by two 11,450-pound thrust Safran Silvercrest engines. The program was ultimately cancelled by Dassault Aviation in 2017 due to insurmountable engine development problems.
