Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Gulfstream G700
The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 sit in the top “ultra-long-range” category, built for intercontinental missions with typical published ranges around 7,500–7,700 nautical miles, and they generally seat about 14–19 passengers depending on cabin configuration. The Dassault Falcon 8X is also an ultra-long-range large-cabin jet but a step below those two in range, commonly cited around 6,400–6,500 nautical miles, with typical seating in the 12–16 passenger range. The Embraer Legacy 650E is best described as a large-cabin “long-range” (but not ultra-long-range) aircraft; it offers substantially less range than the others, typically around 3,900–4,000 nautical miles, while still accommodating roughly 13 passengers in a common executive layout (often up to about 14). In short, Global 7500 and G700 lead on range and cabin volume, the Falcon 8X balances long reach with efficient three-engine performance, and the Legacy 650E targets shorter transoceanic and continental missions with a high-capacity cabin for its class.
