Eaton Selected By Dassault Aviation To Provide Hydraulic Power System And Fuel System Technologies For Falcon 10X Business Jet

Building on a longstanding collaboration between the two companies, Eaton’s flight-proven technologies and engineering expertise are expected to support aircraft weight, fuel-efficiency and certification objectives ahead of the aircraft’s entry into service.

Eaton’s Hydraulic Power Generation System powers critical aircraft functions, including flight controls, landing gear, braking and steering systems, while providing monitoring and redundancy intended to support safety and reliability objectives. The agreement between Dassault and Eaton also includes system-level modeling, validation activities and a test rig to support Dassault’s system-level European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification activities. Eaton also supported ground testing associated with the Falcon 10X’s successful first flight.
