Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 10x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700
All six are ultra-long-range large-cabin business jets, but they split into two tiers. Bombardier’s Global 6500 and Dassault’s Falcon 8X sit at the lower end of the ultra-long-range category: the Global 6500 typically offers about 6,600 nm range and is usually configured for roughly 12–16 passengers, while the tri-jet Falcon 8X is around 6,450 nm with common layouts near 12–16. The Gulfstream G650ER and Bombardier Global 7500 step up in range and cabin volume. The G650ER is about 7,500 nm and often carries around 14–19, while the Global 7500 is about 7,700 nm and commonly seats about 14–19 with more living zones. The newest flagships push further. Gulfstream’s G700 is in the same top-tier class with about 7,500 nm and typical configurations around 13–19, emphasizing a very large, flexible cabin. Dassault’s Falcon 10X targets this “next-generation” top tier with about 7,500 nm and generally similar capacity (often 12–19), prioritizing a wide cabin and high-comfort layouts.
