Bombardier Global 5500 vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G500

In category, the Embraer Praetor 600 is a super-midsize jet, while the Bombardier Global 5500, Gulfstream G500, Dassault Falcon 7X, and Dassault Falcon 900LX sit in the large-cabin, long-range class, with the Falcon 7X and 900LX emphasizing trijet performance and runway flexibility. On range, the Falcon 7X is generally the longest-legged of this group at about 5,950 nm, followed closely by the Global 5500 around 5,900 nm. The Falcon 900LX and Gulfstream G500 are typically in the mid–5,000 nm band at roughly 4,750 nm and 5,300 nm respectively, while the Praetor 600 trails the large-cabin jets at about 4,000 nm. On passenger capacity, typical executive layouts cluster around 8–14 passengers across all five models, but maximum certified capacity differs: the Praetor 600 is usually capped around 12, the G500 and Global 5500 generally up to about 19, the Falcon 7X up to about 19, and the Falcon 900LX often up to about 19–20 depending on configuration.
