Flaperons combine the lift and drag producing effects of flaps with the roll control authority of ailerons. Incorporated and refined by Dassault on the Rafale fighter and state-of-the-art unmanned combat air vehicle, the Neuron, flaperons are active, high-speed deflection control surfaces similar to ailerons. *HEPA: High Efficiency Particulate Air filters / ULPA: Ultra Low Penetration Air filters, improved HEPA performanceįlaperons – Another step forward in control technology It uses HEPA/ULPA filters*, found in hospital intensive care units and operating rooms, which collect 99.97% of all air particles, including 0.06 to 0.2 µm particles** such as: COVID-19, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV. The Falcon 8X advanced filtration system option improves air quality even further. You’ll feel the difference when you arrive at your destination fully rested and energized for whatever awaits you. The impact on health and wellbeing is substantial. It’s so advanced, it far exceeds minimum air quality requirements by 10X, with cabin air refreshment 10X faster than modern office buildings. Then there’s Falcon air management technology. That’s why we’ve invested heavily in research and development of soundproofing technologies that are far ahead of the industry. Noise is a key factor in overall cabin comfort. It’s a whisper-quiet 49 dB SIL, making it the quietest in the industry. The low noise level in the Falcon 8X cabin is remarkable.
