Development of the aircraft Dassault Falcon 20 1961 began in the year, and after another two years, in the year 1963, aeronautical engineer carried out the first launch of an administrative type of aircraft operated by jet propulsion system. After a series of improvements carried out, the aircraft Dassault Falcon 20 1965 year entered the mass production, and, the aircraft almost immediately gained interest among customers.

The power plant of the Dassault Falcon 20 aircraft initially consisted of two Pratt & Whitney JT12A-8 jet engines, however, later on, more advanced aircraft engines began to be installed on the aircraft - reliable and easy to maintain General Electric CF700, with a total thrust of 40 kN.

Because Dassault Falcon 20 was the first aircraft of the administrative type mounted with a jet engine, there are several problems - the plane was not quite maneuverable at high speeds and control of the aircraft severely hampered. However, subsequently, in a yield of improved versions of these negative aspects have been eliminated.
