Unveiled in May 2011, the 2000S becomes the entry-level jet in the Falcon corporate jet family. The aircraft has a range of 3,350nm at a cruise altitude of 45,000ft. Meanwhile, the 2000XLS, which was announced only in October 2012, offers an extended range of 4,000nm while retaining the short-field performance characteristics of the 2000s.
Certification of the aircraft culminates a two-year test program. Nearly 500 Falcon 2000s have been delivered since 1993.
