The Dassault Falcon improved on the three-engine Dassault Falcon 900, developed from earlier predecessors, such as the Falcon 60 and Falcon 20. The Falcon 900 first took to the skies in 1994, while the Falcon 2000 came a year later. However, as the Falcon 2000 had some unique features, more Falcon 2000s were delivered than the Falcon 900.
