Bombardier Global 6500 vs Cessna Citation Hemisphere vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G600

All five are large-cabin business jets, but they separate into “ultra‑long‑range” and “large/upper‑super‑midsize” tiers. The Bombardier Global 6500 is an ultra‑long‑range jet with about 6,600 nautical miles of range and typically seats around 13–17 passengers, emphasizing spacious cabin volume and comfort on very long missions. The Gulfstream G600 is also ultra‑long‑range at roughly 6,600 nautical miles, commonly configured for about 13–19 passengers, and is positioned for high-speed, intercontinental travel. The Dassault Falcon 7X, a tri‑jet ultra‑long‑range aircraft, offers about 5,950 nautical miles and usually accommodates around 12–16 passengers, with strong runway flexibility and long-range capability. The Cessna Citation Hemisphere is intended as a large-cabin, transcontinental-to-intercontinental jet around the 4,500 nautical mile class with typical seating about 9–19 depending on layout, aimed at bridging super‑midsize and large‑cabin missions. The Embraer Praetor 600 sits in the super‑midsize/large‑cabin crossover with about 4,018 nautical miles of range and typically seats about 8–12 passengers, optimized for long U.S. coast‑to‑coast and many North Atlantic city pairs with fewer passengers than the ultra‑long‑range group.
