All eight are midsize to super-midsize business jets, except the Pilatus PC‑24, which is a light/“rugged” jet optimized for short and unimproved runways. In category, the Bombardier Challenger 3500, Embraer Legacy 500, Embraer Praetor 600, Gulfstream G280, Cessna Citation Longitude, and Dassault Falcon 2000S sit in the super‑midsize band, while the Bombardier Challenger 650 and Falcon 2000S lean toward “large-cabin/large super‑mid” comfort. For range, the PC‑24 is shortest at roughly about 2,000 nm. The Legacy 500 and Challenger 3500 are typically around the low‑to‑mid 3,000 nm class. The Longitude and Falcon 2000S are generally in the mid‑3,000 nm range. The Praetor 600 and G280 stretch farther, commonly around the upper‑3,000 nm class. The Challenger 650 is longest here at roughly about 4,000 nm. On passenger capacity, typical seating is about 6–10 depending on layout: PC‑24 and Legacy 500 often seat 6–8; Challenger 3500, Praetor 600, G280, and Longitude commonly seat 8–10; Falcon 2000S and Challenger 650 frequently seat 10–12 (with higher max configurations possible).
