Bombardier Challenger 3500 vs Bombardier Challenger 650 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G500

The Embraer Praetor 600 and Gulfstream G280 sit in the super‑midsize category, typically carrying about 8–10 passengers and offering roughly 4,000 nautical miles of range (the Praetor is around 4,000+ nm, the G280 about 3,600+ nm). The Bombardier Challenger 3500 is also super‑midsize but toward the top of the class, usually configured for about 8–10 passengers with roughly 3,400 nm range. Stepping up, the Bombardier Challenger 650 is a large‑cabin jet with a common 9–12 passenger layout and about 4,000 nm range. The Dassault Falcon 6X and Gulfstream G500 are long‑range large‑cabin aircraft: the 6X typically seats about 12–16 and reaches about 5,500 nm, while the G500 commonly carries about 12–14 and is around 5,200 nm. Overall, the 3500 prioritizes cabin comfort in a shorter‑range super‑midsize package, the Praetor 600 and Challenger 650 cluster near the ~4,000‑nm mark with different cabin sizes, and the 6X/G500 extend into true long‑range missions with larger cabins.
