Honeywell's Aspire 350 satellite communications system has been selected by Dassault for its range of Falcon business aircraft. The deal, announced at the Paris Air Show 2023, will see forward fit and aftermarket retrofit applications of Aspire 350 on Dassault Falcon business aircraft, including the F900, F2000, F7X, F8X, F6X and F10X.

Built for business aviation, airlines and helicopters, Aspire 350 enables pilots to maintain up-to-date information throughout their flight path and operators to experience global, seamless high-speed connectivity in a small, lightweight solution. Simple to install, the Aspire 350 provides an integrated cockpit and cabin connectivity experience for pilots and passengers.

Utilising the Iridium NEXT satellite constellation, Aspire 350 brings greater reliability, cost savings and efficiency to aircraft operations from pole-to-pole. The Iridium network system provides cockpit safety services for pilot operations, while also providing up to 700 Kbps cabin internet connectivity for passenger productivity.
