Bombardier Global 6500 vs Cessna Citation Hemisphere vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G700
All five are large-cabin business jets, but they span upper‑super‑midsize to ultra‑long‑range categories. The Embraer Praetor 600 sits at the smaller end as a super‑midsize, typically carrying about 8–12 passengers with an intercontinental‑capable range around 4,000 nautical miles. The Cessna Citation Hemisphere is positioned as a large‑cabin/long‑range aircraft, generally expected to seat roughly 10–19 with a range around 4,500 nautical miles. Bombardier’s Global 6500 is a long‑range large‑cabin jet, commonly configured for about 10–17 passengers and reaching roughly 6,600 nautical miles. Dassault’s Falcon 7X is an ultra‑long‑range trijet with strong runway flexibility, typically accommodating about 10–16 passengers and flying about 5,950 nautical miles. Gulfstream’s G700 is at the top end as an ultra‑long‑range flagship, usually arranged for about 10–19 passengers and offering roughly 7,500 nautical miles of range, making it the most capable for nonstop very long city pairs among these options.
