Airbus Acj Twotwenty vs Airbus Acj320 Neo vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G650er
By category, the Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty and ACJ320neo are “bizliner” VIP airliners: they offer the most cabin volume and an airline-style, wide or narrowbody fuselage adapted for private use. The Dassault Falcon 7X is a long-range large-cabin business jet with three-engine performance and strong short/steep-airport capability. The Gulfstream G500 is a large-cabin, long-range jet positioned below ultra-long-range flagships. The Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra-long-range, large-cabin jet optimized for the longest nonstop missions. On range, the G650ER leads at roughly 7,500 nautical miles. The Falcon 7X follows around 5,950 nautical miles, while the G500 is typically about 5,300 nautical miles. The ACJ320neo is commonly quoted around 6,000 nautical miles (operator fit-dependent), and the ACJ TwoTwenty is roughly 5,650 nautical miles. On passenger capacity, the ACJ TwoTwenty and ACJ320neo can be configured for the highest counts (often 18–50+ depending on layout), while the Falcon 7X, G500, and G650ER are typically configured for about 12–19, with maximums generally in the high teens.
