Bombardier Global 7500 vs Cessna Citation Hemisphere vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G650er
The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G650ER sit at the top of this group as ultra-long-range flagships. The Global 7500 typically offers about 7,700 nautical miles of range with a high-end cabin sized for roughly 14–19 passengers depending on configuration, while the G650ER is in a similar category at about 7,500 nautical miles and commonly seats around 11–18. The Dassault Falcon 7X is also an ultra-long-range business jet but a step down in reach versus those two, generally around 5,950 nautical miles, with typical seating around 12–16. The Cessna Citation Hemisphere (program status has varied over time) was positioned as a large-cabin, long-range jet, broadly around the 4,500–5,000+ nautical mile class, typically aimed at about 9–19 passengers depending on layout. The Embraer Praetor 600 is a super-midsize jet with substantially shorter range than the large-cabin aircraft, about 4,018 nautical miles, and usually seats about 8–12.
