Bombardier Global 5500 vs Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx

Bombardier’s Global 5500 and 6500 sit in the long-range large-cabin category, while the Global 7500 is an ultra-long-range, extra-large-cabin flagship. Dassault’s Falcon 900LX is a long-range large-cabin trijet, and the Falcon 8X is a newer ultra-long-range large-cabin trijet positioned closer to the biggest Globals in endurance, though typically with a smaller cabin cross-section than the 7500. On range, the Global 5500 is roughly in the 5,900 nautical mile class, the Global 6500 about 6,600 nm, and the Global 7500 leads at about 7,700 nm. The Falcon 900LX is around 4,750 nm, while the Falcon 8X is about 6,450 nm, making it competitive with the Global 6500 for long missions. For passenger capacity, all can be configured for high-density seating, but typical executive layouts differ: Global 5500 and 6500 commonly seat about 12–16, the Global 7500 about 14–19, the Falcon 8X about 12–16, and the Falcon 900LX about 10–14.
