The Falcon 2000 can carry a maximum of 19 passengers and has a range of 5,630km (with six passengers at normal cruising speed of Mach 0.8).

The aircraft has two rear-mounted engines. The fuselage of the aircraft is of a similar damage tolerant design to that of the Falcon 900. Kevlar has been used for the radome, the wingroot fairings, nosewheel doors and the tailcone. Carbon fibre is used for the nosewheel doors.

Alenia is responsible for the development and manufacture of the rear fuselage section and the engine nacelles. The rear mounted engine pods and pylons were developed by Alenia and Piaggio. The tail has carbon fibre skin panels, composite spars and a cast titanium central box.

The two-man Falcon 2000 flight deck has a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 electronic flight and information system with EFI-4000 four-tube display. The instrument panel is also fitted with a three-tube Engine Indicating Electronic Display (EIED) supplied by Thales Avionics. The pilot is equipped with a Flight Dynamics HGS-2850 head-up display.

The communications suite includes a dual communications and navigation system with dual TRD-94D Mode-S transponders, dual RTU-4420 radio tuners and a Rockwell Collins HF-9000 transmit / receive unit. A satellite communications unit can be fitted with the podded antenna installed in the fintip.

The aircraft's flight management system is the Rockwell Collins FMS-6100 with a Cat II autopilot. The flight systems include Rockwell Collins DME-442 distance measuring equipment, dual automatic direction finder, dual attitude and heading reference system and dual digital air data computers with integrated avionics processors. The aircraft is fitted with a Rockwell Collins WXR-840 colour weather radar. An optional radar fit is the TWR-850 Doppler weather radar.

Optional systems include a dual Honeywell electronic ground proximity warning system (EGPWS) with windshear detection, dual Honeywell Laseref inertial reference system, a backup flight management system (with a global positioning system), a flight data recorder and a Traffic Alert and Collision System (TCAS).

The cabin can accommodate up to 19 passengers. The forward part of the passenger cabin is arranged as a four-seat lounge. The rear part of the cabin is set out with a two-seat sofa and four seats. The cabin is 1.88m high, 2.34m wide and the cabin floor has a length of 7.98m.

The 3.79m³ pressurised baggage compartment is externally loaded, internally accessible and stows up to 725kg.

The Falcon 2000 has two rear-mounted General Electric / Honeywell CFE738-1-1B turbofan engines, each providing 26.3kN thrust. The engines are fitted with Dee-Howard clamshell-type thrust reversers which open in upper and lower halves about the engine centreline and are hinged at the nozzle. The fuel tanks have a capacity of 5,513kg.

The Falcon 2000 has retractable tricycle type landing gear, each unit being twin-wheeled. The main gear retracts inwards and the nosewheel retracts forward.

Because of its increased weight, the 2000EX has heavier duty landing gear and braking system, supplied by Messier Bugatti. The braking system has a new brake steering control unit with brake temperature measurement and automatic airbrake activation for landing and rejected take-offs.
