The Embraer Praetor 500 is a super-midsize jet, usually 8–10 passengers, around ~3,300–3,400 nm. Gulfstream’s G500 and G600 are large-cabin jets, typically ~12–15 passengers, around ~5,200–5,500 nm and ~6,600 nm respectively. The Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra-long-range jet, typically ~14–18 passengers, about ~7,500 nm, while the G800 is the newest ultra-long-range model, similar capacity with ~8,000 nm class range.
