Cessna Citation Hemisphere vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G400

All four are long-range business jets, but they span adjacent categories. The Cessna Citation Hemisphere is positioned as a “super‑midsize/large‑cabin” entry, aimed at intercontinental capability with an advertised range around 4,500 nautical miles and typically seating about 10–12 passengers depending on layout. The Embraer Praetor 600 sits firmly in the super‑midsize class, offering roughly 4,000+ nautical miles of range and commonly accommodating about 8–12 passengers in a comfortable two‑zone cabin. The Dassault Falcon 6X is a large‑cabin, long‑range jet with a substantially bigger, wider cabin than the super‑midsize entries; it targets about 5,500 nautical miles of range and is typically configured for around 12–16 passengers. The Gulfstream G400 is also a large‑cabin, long‑range aircraft, designed to bridge Gulfstream’s large‑cabin family with range in the roughly 4,000+ nautical‑mile class, usually arranged for about 12 passengers, with higher-density layouts possible.
