Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 10x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700
By category, Embraer’s Praetor 600 sits in the super-midsize class, while Bombardier’s Global 6500 and Dassault’s Falcon 8X are large-cabin, long-range jets. The Bombardier Global 7500, Gulfstream G650ER and G700, and Dassault Falcon 10X occupy the ultra-long-range, ultra-large-cabin tier (with the 10X positioned as a forthcoming flagship). On range, the Praetor 600 is shortest at roughly 4,000 nm. The Global 6500 and Falcon 8X step up to about 6,000 nm. The leading group stretches farther: G650ER around 7,500 nm, G700 around 7,750 nm, Global 7500 about 7,700 nm, and the Falcon 10X targets about 7,500 nm. Passenger capacity overlaps but scales with cabin size: the Praetor 600 typically carries about 8–12. The Global 6500 and Falcon 8X commonly seat about 12–16. The Global 7500, G650ER, G700, and Falcon 10X generally accommodate about 13–19 (sometimes more in high-density layouts), with the biggest cabins favoring more zones and higher comfort at similar headcounts.
