Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Piper M600 Sls
The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a VIP airliner category aircraft, far larger than the others, intended for head‑of‑state or corporate shuttle missions. It offers intercontinental range on the order of roughly 6,000+ nautical miles (depending on configuration) and typically carries a small VIP party in high comfort (often a few dozen) but can be configured for many more seats than any business jet. The Dassault Falcon 8X is an ultra‑long‑range business jet designed for nonstop intercontinental trips, with about 6,450 nautical miles of range and a typical passenger load around 12–16 in an executive cabin. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft focused on efficient regional flying, with roughly 1,700–1,900 nautical miles of range and usually seats about 6–7 passengers. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop in the personal/light business category, optimized for owner‑pilots, with about 1,400 nautical miles of range and typically carries 5–6 passengers.
