Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 10x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Embraer Praetor 500 vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700
All eight are large-cabin or super-midsize business jets, with the Embraer Praetor 500 and 600 at the smaller end. The Praetor 500 is a super-midsize jet suited to transcontinental missions, while the Praetor 600 is a longer-range super-midsize edging into large-cabin territory; both typically carry about 8–12 passengers. Dassault’s Falcon 8X is a long-range large-cabin trijet with intercontinental reach and typical seating around 8–16. The Falcon 10X is an ultra-long-range flagship with a larger cabin and similar typical counts (often 10–19) but aimed at the longest missions. Bombardier’s Global 6500 is a large-cabin long-range jet (commonly 10–17). The Global 7500 steps up to ultra-long-range with more cabin volume and among the longest ranges in service (often 10–19). Gulfstream’s G650ER is an ultra-long-range benchmark (typically 11–18). The newer G700 is also ultra-long-range with a bigger cabin and similar passenger counts, optimized for maximum comfort on very long flights.
