Bombardier Global 5500 vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 8x

The Bombardier Global 5500, Dassault Falcon 7X, and Dassault Falcon 8X all sit in the large-cabin, long-range business jet category, but they differ in reach and typical cabin load. The Global 5500 is generally positioned as a long-range large-cabin jet with a range of about 5,900 nautical miles and is typically configured for around 12–16 passengers (with higher-density layouts possible). The Falcon 7X is a large-cabin, ultra-long-range trijet with roughly 5,950 nautical miles of range and commonly carries about 12–16 passengers. The Falcon 8X is the newer, stretched and optimized evolution of the 7X, remaining in the ultra-long-range large-cabin class; it offers a longer range of about 6,450 nautical miles and similar typical capacity (about 12–16 passengers), with slightly more flexibility for additional seating depending on configuration. In practice, the 8X leads on range, the 7X and Global 5500 are close behind, and all three offer comparable passenger capacity in real-world executive layouts.
