Bombardier Challenger 350 vs Cessna Citation Longitude vs Embraer Legacy 450

The Bombardier Challenger 3500 and Cessna Citation Longitude both sit in the super-midsize business jet category, while the Embraer Legacy 450 is typically considered a midsize jet. In range, the Longitude is generally the longest-legged of the three at about 3,500 nautical miles, making it better suited to longer nonstop city pairs. The Challenger 3500 is close behind at roughly 3,400 nautical miles, also aimed at transcontinental missions with strong cabin comfort. The Legacy 450 trails with around 2,900 nautical miles, fitting more regional-to-transcontinental missions depending on payload and conditions. For passenger capacity, all three are usually configured for about 8 to 10 passengers in typical executive layouts. The Longitude and Challenger 3500 commonly seat 8 to 10 (sometimes up to around 12 depending on configuration), while the Legacy 450 is most often arranged for 7 to 9, occasionally 10, reflecting its slightly smaller-cabin class.
