Transcontinental range, adequate power, and a comfortable interior makes the Dassault Falcon 2000 a serious contender in its already stacked class.  Based on the Dassault Falcon 900 tri-jet, the Falcon 2000 has a rich heritage and a history of reliability. Although smaller than the Falcon 900, the 2000 still boasts of a spacious cabin that can give its competitor in the mid to large size class a run for their money.
