Carlos Brana, Executive Vice President Civil Aircraft, Dassault Aviation, talks about what the industry can expect from the company's first 'ultra widebody business jet' On 7 May 1963, Dassault flew the prototype Falcon 20 business jet for the first time. The company's supersonic, delta-winged Mirage III fighter was simultaneously entering l'Armée de l'Air (French air force) service and so began the precedent for 'DNA sharing' between Dassault's fighter and business jet lines. It is a precedent that continues today and, according to Carlos Brana, Executive Vice President Civil Aircraft, Dassault Aviation, is among the company's greatest strengths.
