French planemaker Dassault Aviation has been producing private aircraft since 1963 when it launched its first business plane — the Mystère 20.

In an effort to better compete in the American market, the jet was eventually rebranded as the Falcon 20, officially launching one of the world's most successful family of business aircraft.

Over 60 years, Dassault has built and delivered over 2,700 Falcon jets, including private jets to some of the world's most influential people like Elon Musk.

There are currently three Falcon models being built and sold — the 8X, the 900LX, and the 2000LXS. The 2000LXS is the smallest type, but it still carries up to 10 people across some 4,600 miles.

Meanwhile, two Dassault variants are still awaiting certification — the 6X and the 10X. The 10X, dubbed the "penthouse of the skies," will have the world's largest passenger cabin of any purpose-built private jet, but deliveries are not expected until at least 2025.

The 6X, however, is on the home stretch of certification after five years of development. It was actually announced after a failed attempt to produce a Falcon 5X model.

Dassault showed off its fully-built experimental Falcon 6X jet at the Paris Airshow in June.  Take a look inside the $53 million plane.
