The Falcon 20 (originally the Mystere 20, later renamed the Fan Jet Falcon) is a French aircraft built by Dassault-Breguet as an executive transport passenger jet, and first flown in 1963. In 1967 the Falcon 20 was selected for US Coast Guard service and has been adapted for cargo transport, ambulance work, scientific, navigation and calibration research, cartographic, aerialphotography and military uses. The Falcon 20 carries a crew of two and up to fourteen passengers, though eight is the more usual configuration, and is powered by two General Electric CF700-2C turbofan engines providing a top speed of 860 kmh and a range of 3050 km.
