Bombardier Global 6500 vs Cessna Citation Hemisphere vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700
By category, Embraer’s Praetor 600 is a super‑midsize jet, while Bombardier’s Global 6500 and Dassault’s Falcon 7X sit in the large‑cabin, long‑range class. Cessna’s Citation Hemisphere was positioned as a large‑cabin business jet in the “long‑range” segment, though it was discontinued before entry into service. Gulfstream’s G650ER and G700 are ultra‑long‑range, flagship large‑cabin aircraft. On range, the Praetor 600 is shortest at about 4,018 nm. The Falcon 7X and Global 6500 are broadly similar long‑range performers at roughly 5,950 nm and 6,600 nm respectively. The Hemisphere was advertised around 4,500 nm. The G650ER extends to about 7,500 nm, while the G700 is around 7,750 nm. For passenger capacity, typical executive layouts cluster around 10–14 passengers for the Praetor 600, about 12–16 for the Falcon 7X and Global 6500, and roughly 12–18 for the G650ER and G700, with maximum-certified seating generally higher depending on configuration.
