Dassault differs from most western contemporaries in emphasizing development rather than production; in uniquely European employment and personnel practices; in commitment to prototype development; and in preference for gradual, incremental, and evolutionary design.
Dassault's special qualities appear to be attributable to its company policies, astute management, Marcel Dassault's influence, and a reconciliation of low risk technology and design simplicity with high performance.

he Dassault Falcon is a French executive jet aircraft, originally developed as the commercial version of the famous Mystere fighter aircraft.

It was fast, with a top speed of 535 mph; it could be converted for Federal Express’s very specialized needs; and it was small enough to reduce the risk of carrying uneconomical loads during the initial, highly sensitive period, when the new airline risked its entire future on the right choice of aircraft.
