N174B1979 Dassault Falcon 10

Overview

The airframe bearing tail number N174B is a 1979-built Dassault Falcon 10, constructor serial 142, manufactured by Dassault Aviation. The aircraft is owned by the corporation Flying Farmer LLC of Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the US registry. The airframe’s public record for this specific serial reflects a single corporate ownership as supplied; no additional ownership transfers or registry actions were provided in the available data. Condition and valuation details were not supplied.

Operations & Cabin

This specific Falcon 10 is configured in the model-typical executive cabin layout, accommodating a forward club seating arrangement, a rear divan/bench, a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory consistent with the four-seven passenger executive layouts common to the type; overall seat count for this airframe is 11. Operated under corporate ownership by Flying Farmer LLC, the aircraft's performance figures, cruise at 393 knots and a maximum practical range of 1,520 nm, suit short- to medium-range executive missions and transregional hops from its home jurisdiction. Avionics fit and specific interior finishes were not published in the supplied data; routine maintenance considerations align with twin-engine turbofan upkeep typical of the TFE731-powered Falcons, with periodic attention to engine monitoring, pressurization systems and high-altitude operational checks given the 45,000 ft certified ceiling.

Model & Market Context

The Dassault Falcon 10 occupies a light-to-midsize business jet niche within Dassault’s older family of small Falcons, offering higher cruise speed and altitude capability relative to many contemporaneous light jets because of its twin TFE731 turbofans and 45,000-ft ceiling. Competing models in the same era and mission profile would include other late-1970s light business jets, with buyer and charter demand typically driven by economy of operation, dispatch reliability and cabin versatility. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe center on the age of the airframe (1979 build, serial 142) and service history under corporate operation, with engine program enrollment and documented maintenance records being key factors in marketability.
