EDITORS COMMENTS
: The Dassault-Breguet Mystère 20 1st prototype F-WLKB, as seen in this photo from the 1964 Paris Air Show, was a significant milestone in aviation history. With its two 3,300 lbf Pratt & Whitney JT12A-8 turbojet engines originally fitted, this aircraft was the first Mystère 20 to take to the skies, marking the beginning of the development of what would later become the Falcon business jet series. Of particular note in this image is the anti-spin parachute housing under the rear fuselage. This innovative feature housed a parachute that could be released to assist in recovering from spins, adding an extra layer of safety to the experimental aircraft. Following its successful testing, the F-WLKB was re-named Falcon 20 and its registration was changed to F-BLKB, indicating that it was no longer considered experimental. However, the F-BLKB did not remain with its original engines for long. It was later re-engined with General Electric CF700 turbofans, which were an aft-fan variant of the General Electric CJ610 turbojet. In this configuration, the fan was attached directly to the LP turbine tips and driven directly rather than through a shaft. This change in engines marked the beginning of the Falcon 20's evolution into a high-performance business jet, setting the stage for the successful Falcon series that would follow. This historic photograph captures a pivotal moment in aviation history, showcasing the Dassault-Breguet Mystère 20 1st prototype F-WLKB in all its glory at the 1964 Paris Air Show.
