Dassault
Dassault Aviation SA is an international French aircraft manufacturer of military, regional and business jets. It is a subsidiary of the Dassault Group.
It was founded in 1929 by Marcel Bloch as Société des Avions Marcel Bloch. After World War II, Marcel Bloch changed his name to Marcel Dassault, and the name of the company was changed to Avions Marcel Dassault on 20 January 1947. In 1971 Dassault acquired Breguet Aviation (founded in 1911 by Louis Charles Breguet), forming Avions Marcel Dassault-Breguet Aviation. In 1990 the company was renamed Dassault Aviation.
Dassault Aviation is a multinational company in 2015, with a commercial presence in over 83 countries. Its activities are centered on the following areas: aeronautics (mainly business jets and also military aircraft), space activities (ground telemetry systems, spacecraft design and pyrotechnic activities), services (Dassault Procurement Services, Dassault Falcon Jet and Dassault Falcon Service), aerospace and defense systems (Sogitec Industries).
The Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet is a light attack jet and advanced jet trainer designed and manufactured in the 1970s by Dassault Aviation of France and Dornier Flugzeugwerke of Germany.

Dassault Falcon 10
The Dassault Falcon 10 is an early corporate jet aircraft. Despite its numbering sequence it was actually developed after the Falcon 20, and although it is sometimes considered as a scaled-down version of that aircraft, it was totally redesigned with a non-circular fuselage, a new wing with slotted flaps, a split passenger door and many simplified circuits compared to the Falcon 20.
Production began in 1971 and ceased in 1989, but it remains a popular business jet on the second hand market.

Dassault Falcon 20
The Dassault Falcon 20 is the first business jet developed and manufactured by Dassault Aviation. It became the first of a family of business jets to be produced under the same name; of these, both the smaller Falcon 10 and the larger trijet Falcon 50 were direct derivatives of the Falcon 20.
Initially known as the Dassault-Breguet Mystère 20, approval to proceed with development of the aircraft was issued in December 1961. It is a low-wing monoplane design, powered by a pair of rear-mounted General Electric CF700 turbojet engines. On 4 May 1963 the prototype made its maiden flight. The first production aircraft was introduced on 3 June 1965. On 10 June 1965, French aviator Jacqueline Auriol achieved the women's world speed record using the first prototype.
An improved model of the aircraft, designated the Falcon 200, was developed. This variant, powered by a pair of Garrett ATF3 engines, featured several major improvements to increase its range, capacity and comfort. Additionally, a number of Falcon 20s that had been originally powered by the CF700 engines were later re-engined with the Garrett TFE731 turbofan engine. The aircraft proved to be so popular that production did not end until 1988, by which point it had been superseded by more advanced developments of the Falcon family. Due to the increasing implementation of noise abatement regulations, the Falcon 20 has either been subject to restrictions on its use in some nations, or been retrofitted with Stage 3 noise-compliant engines or hush kits upon its non-compliant engines. The type has also been used as a flying test bed and aerial laboratory by a number of operators, including NASA and Cobham Aviation. In November 2012, a Falcon 20 had the distinction of becoming the first civil jet to fly on 100 percent biofuel.

Dassault Falcon 50
The Dassault Falcon 50 is a super mid-sized, long-range corporate jet, featuring a trijet engine layout with an S-duct central engine. It has the same fuselage cross-section and similar capacity as the earlier Falcon 20 twinjet but is a completely new design that is area ruled and includes a more advanced wing design.
The first prototype flew on 7 November 1976, with French airworthiness certification on 27 February 1979, followed by U.S. Federal Aviation Administration certification on 7 March 1979.
The basic variant Falcon 50 has Honeywell TFE 731-3-1C engines and optional auxiliary power unit (APU). The Falcon 50EX has TFE 731-40 engines, an APU installed as standard equipment, changes to the rudder control system, updated avionics, and other improvements.
