New Software Updates to Improve Capability and Procedures

GENEVA, Switzerland, May 3, 2010 - Dassault tomorrow will deliver its 75th Falcon 7X during a
ceremony at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) in
Geneva, Switzerland. The 5,950 nautical mile tri-jet is now operating in 24
different countries and has logged over 30,000 flight hours and 15,000
takeoffs and landings. The 7X was jointly certified by the FAA and EASA in
April, 2007, and has since received type certification from 14 countries with
orders being received in 42 countries.

"The rapid accumulation of flight hours by our Falcon 7X fleet
is a testament to its reliability," said John Rosanvallon, President and CEO
of Dassault Falcon. "No other aircraft offers the same efficiency, range of
performance or technological advancements as those available in our flagship
aircraft." The Falcon 7X is powered by three Pratt and Whitney Canada PW307A
engines that help make the Falcon 7X category leader with both fuel
efficiency and airport performance.

The backlog of the Falcon 7X now stands at 120 aircraft.
"Given the events in our industry over the past eighteen months, having such
a strong backlog is proof of the aircraft's versatility and the recognition
in the marketplace that the Falcon 7X is a true industry leader," continued
Rosanvallon.

Upcoming Falcon 7X Enhancements

The 7X is set to receive a new round of enhancements with the
release of five Service Bulletins. Among the modifications is the "Load 10"
update to the EASy flight deck. Load 10 includes TOLD (Takeoff and Landing
Data), which provides automatic computation of engine ratings and key speeds
(V1, VR, V2) as well as landing distances, field length and other related
data.

Provided in Load 10 is Windshear Escape Guidance, which gives
direction to pilots to minimize altitude loss while maintaining a safe stall
margin. Another new feature, Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS),
provides aural alerts during approaches, landing and ground operations to
help increase situational awareness.

Updates to the Digital Flight Control System Flight (DFCS)
will also streamline the aircraft initialization procedures.

Additionally, certification of the Falcon 7X Enhanced Flight
Vision System (EFVS) is expected in the middle of 2010. The EFVS increases
situational awareness in difficult weather conditions and provides an
operational benefit to properly trained crews which will allow approaches to
be flown with a decision height as low as 100 feet above ground level.

"This newest update of the avionics and flight deck of the 7X
brings an enhanced level of reliability, performance and safety to what is
the most advanced business jet in the world," said Rosanvallon.

The Falcon 7X has the longest range of any Falcon business
jet. Since its entry into service in 2007, the 7X cabin has set a new
standard for business jets praised by its passengers for its "library quiet"
cabin which is the result of breakthroughs in design, materials and cushioned
engine mounts. Special attention was given to enhancing its cabin comfort for
flights lasting up to 13 hours. The large and bright cabin with 28 windows
which are 10% bigger than previous Falcons. It also features a low in flight
cabin altitude of 6,000 feet, even while flying at 51,000 feet, and an
advanced temperature control system that maintains the environment to within
one degree throughout the entire cabin.
