Cessna Citation Longitude vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G650er

By category, the Embraer Praetor 600 and Gulfstream G280 are super-midsize jets, balancing transcontinental capability with relatively efficient cabin size. The Cessna Citation Longitude and Gulfstream G500 sit in the large-cabin class, offering more volume and typically higher cruise comfort for longer missions. The Dassault Falcon 7X is a long-range, large-cabin trijet, positioned for intercontinental flexibility, while the Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra-long-range flagship designed for the longest nonstop city pairs. On range, typical published figures place the Praetor 600 around 4,000 nm and the G280 around 3,600 nm. The Longitude is roughly 3,500 nm. Stepping up, the G500 is about 5,300 nm, the Falcon 7X about 5,950 nm, and the G650ER about 7,500 nm. Passenger capacity varies by configuration, but typical layouts run about 8–10 for the Praetor 600 and G280, about 8–12 for the Longitude, about 10–13 for the G500, about 10–14 for the Falcon 7X, and about 11–16 for the G650ER.
