Regardless of the differences between the Falcon 20EX types-as well as between the commercial designations based on them-the common type certificate for the Falcon 20EX is held by Dassault Aviation in Paris. The current production airframes, the Falcon 2000LXS and 2000S, both represent commercial designations of the Falcon 2000EX type. According to Dassault, “the Falcon 2000EX airframe is basically identical to the original Falcon 2000 in terms of design, overall dimensions, cockpit and cabin volume,” as is noted below. Out of the seven commercial designations of the Falcon 2000 series, one is based on the Falcon 2000 type, while the other six-the Falcon 2000EX, 2000EX EASy, 2000DX, 2000LX, 2000LXS and 2000S-are based on the 2000EX type. Since the first variant of the series, the Falcon 2000, was certified in November 1994 a total of six airframes have been certified as part of the series, with those airframes based on either the Falcon 2000 or 2000EX type. The Falcon 2000 is a twin-engine business jet produced by French manufacturer Dassault Aviation.
