Airbus Acj Twotwenty vs Boeing Bbj Max 8 vs Dassault Falcon 10x vs Dassault Falcon 6x
The Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty and Boeing BBJ 737 MAX are VIP airliners designed around large-cabin space and high headcount, while the Dassault Falcon 6X and Falcon 10X are purpose-built ultra-long-range business jets optimized for private-jet mission profiles. In category terms, the ACJ TwoTwenty sits in the “bizliner” class based on the A220, and the BBJ 737 MAX is likewise a “bizliner” based on the 737 MAX airframe; the Falcon 6X is a large-cabin long-range business jet, and the Falcon 10X is an ultra-long-range, ultra-large-cabin flagship business jet. For range, the Falcon 10X is generally the longest-legged of the group (around 7,500 nm), the Falcon 6X follows (about 5,500 nm), then the ACJ TwoTwenty (roughly 5,650 nm), while the BBJ 737 MAX varies by variant but is typically in the roughly 3,300–3,800 nm class with auxiliary tanks (higher on some configurations). For passenger capacity, the ACJ TwoTwenty and BBJ 737 MAX can carry the most in high-density layouts (often dozens), whereas the Falcon 6X and 10X typically seat fewer—commonly in the low to high teens—prioritizing comfort and private zones.
