Bombardier Challenger 3500 vs Bombardier Challenger 650 vs Dassault Falcon 2000s vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G400

In category, the Embraer Praetor 600, Bombardier Challenger 3500, and Gulfstream G280 are typically considered “super-midsize,” while the Bombardier Challenger 650, Dassault Falcon 2000S, and Gulfstream G400 sit in the “large-cabin” class. On range, the Praetor 600 and G280 generally lead the super-midsize group at roughly 4,000 nautical miles (with the Praetor 600 slightly higher, depending on configuration), while the Challenger 3500 is a bit shorter at about 3,400 nm. Among the large-cabins, the Falcon 2000S and Challenger 650 are commonly cited around 3,900–4,000 nm, whereas the newer G400 is positioned longer-range at roughly 4,200 nm. For passenger capacity, these aircraft are usually arranged for about 8–10 passengers in typical executive layouts, but maximum certified seating differs: the Challenger 3500 and Praetor 600 are commonly quoted up to about 12, the G280 around 10, the Challenger 650 up to about 12, the Falcon 2000S up to about 10, and the G400 typically around 12 (layout-dependent).
