Bombardier Global 5500 vs Dassault Falcon 10x vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Gulfstream G800 1"
Commercial aircraft can be compared broadly by category, which strongly influences typical range and passenger capacity. Regional aircraft, including small regional jets and turboprops, are designed for shorter routes and frequent cycles; they usually carry about 30 to 90 passengers and commonly fly roughly 200 to 1,500 nautical miles, with turboprops often optimized for the shortest sectors. Narrow-body mainline jets serve domestic and short-to-medium international markets; they typically seat around 120 to 240 passengers and often operate in the 1,500 to 3,800 nautical mile range, depending on variant and payload. Wide-body jets are built for high capacity and long-haul flying; they generally carry about 250 to 400+ passengers and can cover roughly 4,000 to 8,000+ nautical miles, enabling transoceanic routes. At the top end, very large wide-bodies maximize capacity on dense hub-to-hub routes; they can exceed 450 passengers in some layouts, but their economics depend heavily on consistently high demand and airport compatibility. Actual performance varies with configuration, cargo load, winds, and airline operating choices.
