Airbus Acj350 vs Boeing Bbj 787 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 10x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700
The Airbus ACJ350 and Boeing BBJ 787 sit in the VIP airliner category, offering the greatest cabin volume and typically the highest passenger capacity (often configured roughly in the 25–80+ range depending on layout). Both provide ultra-long-range intercontinental capability; in general, the ACJ350 is marketed around the ~10,000–11,000 nm class, while BBJ 787 variants are typically in the ~9,000–10,000 nm class, mission- and configuration-dependent. Bombardier Global 7500, Dassault Falcon 10X, Dassault Falcon 8X, and Gulfstream G700 are purpose-built large-cabin business jets, usually seating about 12–19 in executive layouts (with higher-density options possible). Range-wise, the Global 7500 and G700 are at the top of the business-jet set at roughly ~7,500–7,700 nm, the Falcon 10X targets about ~7,500 nm, and the Falcon 8X is slightly shorter at about ~6,450 nm. Overall, choose ACJ350/BBJ 787 for maximum space and headcount; choose Global 7500/G700/Falcon 10X for long range with business-jet airport flexibility; choose Falcon 8X for similar comfort with somewhat less range.
