Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Robinson R66

The Bombardier Global 7500, Dassault Falcon 8X, and Embraer Legacy 650E are all business jets, while the Robinson R66 is a light single‑engine turbine helicopter, so it fits a very different mission profile. In category and capability, the Global 7500 sits at the top as an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin jet, typically offering the greatest intercontinental reach at about 7,700 nautical miles and carrying roughly 14–19 passengers depending on configuration. The Falcon 8X is also an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin jet, with slightly less range at around 6,450 nautical miles and a typical capacity of about 12–16 passengers. The Legacy 650E is a long‑range (not ultra‑long‑range) large‑cabin jet, generally around 3,900 nautical miles of range and commonly configured for about 13–14 passengers. The Robinson R66, as a helicopter, trades speed and range for vertical access; its range is roughly 300–350 nautical miles with about 4–5 seats including the pilot.
