The Bombardier Challenger 3500 is a super‑midsize jet suited to shorter transcontinental missions, offering roughly 3,400 nm range and typically carrying about 8–10 passengers. The Challenger 650 is a large‑cabin jet with more space and payload, about 4,000 nm range, and commonly 10–12 passengers. Gulfstream’s G400 sits in the large‑cabin segment with about 4,200 nm range and around 10–12 passengers. The G500 and G600 are long‑range large‑cabin jets; the G500 is roughly 5,300 nm and the G600 about 6,600 nm, both typically configured for about 12–15 passengers. The G650ER is an ultra‑long‑range flagship, around 7,500 nm, usually 14–16 passengers. The G700 is a newer ultra‑long‑range, very large‑cabin aircraft at about 7,750 nm and often 14–19 passengers. The G800 targets maximum range in the line at about 8,000 nm, generally in a 12–16 passenger class while retaining a large cabin.
