Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 8x
All four are long‑range, large‑cabin business jets, but they span different tiers. The Bombardier Global 7500 sits at the top end of the segment, typically classified as an ultra‑long‑range, large‑cabin jet, offering about 7,700 nautical miles of range and commonly seating 14–19 passengers in executive layouts. The Dassault Falcon 6X is a newer large‑cabin, long‑range jet positioned below the very longest‑range flagships, with roughly 5,500 nautical miles of range and typical seating around 12–16 passengers. The Dassault Falcon 7X is an earlier ultra‑long‑range trijet, generally around 5,950 nautical miles of range, with typical configurations seating about 12–16 (often up to 19). The Dassault Falcon 8X is the 7X’s extended‑range successor, also an ultra‑long‑range trijet, offering about 6,450 nautical miles of range and similar typical seating of roughly 12–16 (often up to 19). Overall, the Global 7500 leads on range and cabin size, while the 8X leads the Falcon family on range, with the 6X emphasizing a wide, modern cabin over maximum distance.
