INTRODUCTION
The FALCON 7X is a tri-engine long range business jet (19 passengers maximum).
The particular structural features of FALCON 7X compared with the other aircraft in the
FALCON family are:
- A fuselage longer than the falcon 900EX but with a similar diameter,
- The new design of wings fitted with winglets,
- The windshields structure.
The main airplane structure consists of fuselage, wings, power plant pylons, landing gear and
empennage.

DESIGN PRINCIPLE
The airframe was designed considering the following design principles:

- With regard to efficiency :
o New design of wings fitted with winglets increasing the range,
o New design of windshields increasing pilots frontal and lateral visibility.
- With regard to reliability:
o The structural design of the 7X airplane conforms to a fail safe structural design concept
and meets fatigue and damage tolerance requirements,
o The airplane mainly employs high-strength aluminum alloys in its structure,
o The structure also includes other high technology materials such as titanium, corrosion
resistant steel, and carbon composites for primary structures, fiberglass and Kevlar for
the secondary components.
- With regard to safety :
o Airframe is protected from structural damages following:
A bird strike with honeycomb shields and reinforced leading edge,
A crash landing with friction pads and crash pads (protection of fuselage integral fuel
tank),
An engine fire and Engine rotor burst with firewall and rotor burst shield,
A depressurisation with pressure balance panels avoiding floor collapse.
- With regard to comfort :
o Fuselage longer than the Falcon 900EX but with a similar diameter,
o Accomodations for 19 passengers on long range flights,
o Forward and aft lavatories.
- With regard to maintenance:
o Multiple access panels.

REAR SECTION AND S-DUCT
Baggage compartment
The pressurized baggage compartment is located in the forward part of the rear section
and is accessible in-flight through the door located in the aft partition of the lavatory.
This baggage door is monitored in latched position and must be closed above 40,000 ft
for compliance with high altitude operation requirements.
A left external door provides ground access to the baggage compartment.
Service compartment
The unpressurized service compartment is located immediately aft of the baggage

compartment and houses hydraulic, air conditioning and miscellaneous components.
Access to the service compartment is made through a door with an attached ladder on
the left underside of the airplane.
The service compartment gives access to the S-duct door.

WING
WING BOX
The wing box is an assembly of spars, ribs and skin panels.

The wing box is the primary structure of the wing and acts first as a structure box,
withstanding inertia loads and aerodynamic drag and lift.
It receives also ground loads coming from the main landing gear and jacking points.
Wing loading is transmitted to the fuselage by a piano type attachment.
A large section of the wing box is a fuel tank, divided in three compartments.
The fixed leading edge structure is located in front of the box forward spar and attached to it.
The fixed trailing edge structure is located behind the wing box aft spar and attached to it.

STRUCTURAL PROTECTIONS
Airframe is protected from structural damages by means of different features:

- Honeycomb shield are attached to the fuselage frame 1 in order to withstand bird strike
loads,
- The fuselage floor substructure includes movable parts to equalize pressure between
under floor and over floor areas in case of cabin sudden loss of pressure,
- Friction pads and vertical energy absorber pads (crash pads) are fitted under the fuselage
integral fuel tanks in order to protect them in case of crash landing,
- Each wall of the centre section integral fuel tank in interface with the cabin, is isolated by
a fume proof enclosure directly in contact with the walls,
- Firewalls between engines 1 and 3 and they pylons ensure fire protection shields for rear
fuselage,
- A reinforced leading edge structure protects the engines pylons from bird strike impact.
- A rotor burst shield protects the vertical stabilizer critical parts (protection against engine 2
rotor burst).

o All doors inducing hazard if unlocked or open are monitored and can trigger off a CAS
message alert,
o Vent flaps secure the lock mecanism when cabin pressurized for passenger door and
baggage compartement external door,
o Door lock mechanisms are secured with spring load or geometric lock,
o The passenger door and emergency exit door opening operation is simplified with a
single control device,
o The passenger door can be opened for evacuation even with a collapsed landing gear, in
this case the door is used in the horizontal position in order to evacuate the airplane:

SYSTEM MONITORING
Depending of the Door type and the phase of flight, the status of the door (open, closed,
unlatched, latched) is detected by proximity sensors or micro switches and a corresponding
CAS message is displayed.
Doors monitored are:
- Passenger door,
- Emergency exit door,
- Cabin to baggage compartment door,
- Baggage compartment external door,
- Service compartment access door,
- S-duct door,
- Refueling control panel door.
ACTIVE PROTECTIONS
