Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 10x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700
All seven are large-cabin, long-range business jets, but they separate into “upper-long-range” and “ultra-long-range” categories. The Bombardier Global 6500 and Dassault Falcon 8X sit in the long-range large-cabin class, with typical ranges around 6,000–6,450 nautical miles and generally carrying about 12–16 passengers in executive layouts (higher maximums possible). The Gulfstream G600 is also a large-cabin long-range jet, roughly in the 6,600 nautical mile class, commonly configured for about 12–16 passengers. The Bombardier Global 7500, Gulfstream G650ER, and Gulfstream G700 are ultra-long-range flagships. The Global 7500 leads for range at about 7,700 nautical miles with typical cabin seating around 14–19. The G650ER is about 7,500 nautical miles and often seats roughly 14–18. The G700 targets about 7,750 nautical miles with typical layouts around 13–19. The Dassault Falcon 10X is an ultra-long-range newcomer, advertised around 7,500 nautical miles, with a very large cabin and typical seating roughly in the mid-to-high teens.
