Bombardier Challenger 3500 vs Bombardier Challenger 650 vs Bombardier Global 5500 vs Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Dassault Falcon 2000s vs Embraer Legacy 650e vs Gulfstream G280

In category terms, the Bombardier Challenger 3500 and Gulfstream G280 sit in the super‑midsize class, while the Bombardier Challenger 650, Embraer Legacy 650E, and Dassault Falcon 2000S/2000LXS are large‑cabin (heavy) jets, and the Bombardier Global 5500 is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin jet. On range, the Global 5500 leads at roughly 5,900–6,000 nautical miles. The Falcon 2000LXS and 2000S are next at about 4,000+ nautical miles (with the 2000LXS generally a bit longer‑legged than the 2000S). The Challenger 650 and Legacy 650E typically fall in the mid‑to‑high 3,000‑nautical‑mile range, depending on payload and conditions. The super‑midsize pair trail the heavy jets: the G280 is around the high‑3,000‑nautical‑mile range, and the Challenger 3500 is typically around the low‑to‑mid 3,000s. For passenger capacity, typical executive seating is about 8–10 on the Challenger 3500 and G280, around 10–12 on the Challenger 650 and Legacy 650E, about 8–10 (often up to ~10) on the Falcon 2000S/2000LXS, and roughly 10–16 on the Global 5500 depending on layout.
