The Dassault Falcon 20 is a French business jet developed and manufactured by Dassault Aviation. The first business jet developed by the firm, it became the first of a family of business jets to be produced under the same name; of these, both the smaller Falcon 10 and the larger trijet Falcon 50 were direct derivatives of the Falcon 20.
Although it was developed as a business jet for civilian use, also the military acquired a number of examples.
The one at Montélimar was formerly used by the CEV, Centre d’Essais en Vol, the French Air Force test unit. It was amongst other used in the testing of radars, and is fitted with an extended nose cone in Mirage 2000-style.
