Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Dassault Falcon 8X are long‑range intercontinental business jets, while the MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer is a light twin‑engine helicopter oriented to short‑range corporate, utility, and public‑service missions. In range, the Global 7500 leads with roughly 7,700 nautical miles, enabling nonstop missions such as North America to Asia or deep transoceanic city pairs. The Falcon 8X is also ultra‑long‑range at about 6,450 nautical miles, covering most intercontinental routes but with less margin than the Global 7500. The MD 902 Explorer is in a different class, typically around 300–400 nautical miles depending on reserves and payload, suited to regional hops rather than long-haul travel. Passenger capacity similarly diverges: the Global 7500 commonly carries about 8–14 passengers in executive layouts (with higher maximums possible), the Falcon 8X typically about 8–12, and the MD 902 usually seats about 7–8 including the pilot, with practical capacity varying by mission equipment and fuel load.
