A few weeks ago, we watched it leave the hangar. Today, it’s a reality: Dassault Aviation’s new flagship just completed its maiden flight.   Seeing an aircraft of this caliber take to the skies for the first time is always an incredible feeling. But seeing it do so on MICHELIN Air X Sky Light tires? That’s pure pride for our teams.   Behind that first flawless landing, there are years of intense engineering to prove that efficiency and extreme performance go hand in hand: ➡️ 10–20% lighter (less weight = lower fuel consumption and reduced CO₂ emissions). ➡️ 10–20% longer lifespan (more flights, optimal operational efficiency). ➡️ Zero compromise on safety. This isn’t just a milestone for a new aircraft. It’s the result of a 40-year trust dynamic between Michelin and Dassault Aviation.   We don't just supply tires; we co-engineer the future of flight. ✈️
