It is, they call it Smart Throttle.
Dassault Picks 10X for First Falcon Smart Throttle Platform | AIN
After testing the Smart Throttle on the Falcon 7X, Dassault has selected the 10X as the first that will be equipped with the new safety technology.

After four years of flying EASy I generally really like how Dassault does things with avionics but they are really not making me happy with this thing. The pilot seats are breathable, the idea being that one crew member can rest on the flight deck while the other monitors during cruise. 100 million dollar airplane, you can afford to have a relief pilot and a crew rest compartment.
Not that it matters for me though, #Guppylife4ever.

Yeah I don’t get it. And I’m an old guy that likes automation. Why give them a throttle at all then? Just make it push button like modern day car transmission shifters.It is, they call it Smart Throttle.

Four little switch lights in the center console.
Hell, you could put it on the yoke as a thumb switch.
PS if this is in the Gulfstream X you saw it here first. It was MY IDEA!

Power Lever is for socialists. Probably a Dutch word or something.

Interesting read. My first thought was "what if you need differential thrust to recover from a spin". They put automatic upset recovery to fix that. There seems to be a manual mode but that's probably an emergency mode.It is, they call it Smart Throttle.

Who cares about levers, I want a helmet! "Luke, I am your father. Come over to the Dark Side, you knob!"
I’ve gotten a loss of braking scenario in the sim approaching another runway in low vis. That one should probably be a memory item.

Pilots have loved flying Falcons for generations because of how they "feel". I guess only the computers will get to enjoy that sentiment moving forward.

I can’t imagine anyone thinking “Man, I’m glad we didn’t have a parachute that day!”
I sat down with the Airbus test pilot of a tail I was taking delivery of in Toulouse and their protocols for flight testing are what they are.

I think there's provisions for egress on the initial flight. As testing continues those provisions will be removed to make room for whatever the airplane ends up as. Should they be strapped into ejection seats with a frangible cockpit ceiling? They're called test pilots for a reason, normally they are engineers first and also happen to be accomplished aviators. They've been integrated into the development of the first flight and believe it will be successful, they probably hate having to wear a parachute but it's a requirement so they comply. Private jets do occasionally crash during the test phase, Gulfstream lost a 650 and it killed everyone on board during testing. Nothing is certain and there's no free lunch.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
This is a newer video of the Bombardier Challenger test aircraft crash that is usually discussed in the Challenger initials.
Here is the original one I saw.
