Dassault Falcon 10x vs Dassault Falcon 8x

The Dassault Falcon 10X and Falcon 8X are both long-range business jets, but they sit in different size and capability tiers. The Falcon 10X is positioned as Dassault’s flagship ultra-long-range, large-cabin aircraft, aimed at missions that prioritize maximum cabin space, comfort, and intercontinental endurance. The Falcon 8X is a proven long-range, large-cabin trijet, generally considered a step below the 10X in overall size and top-end performance, while still targeting nonstop global city pairs. In range, the Falcon 10X is designed for roughly 7,500 nautical miles, whereas the Falcon 8X is rated around 6,450 nautical miles, giving the 10X a meaningful advantage for longer nonstop routes or more conservative reserves and payload margins. For passenger capacity, both can be configured for typical executive layouts in the low-to-mid teens, but the 10X’s larger cabin supports higher-capacity configurations more comfortably. In practice, the 8X commonly seats about 12–16 passengers, while the 10X is often cited around 12–19, depending on layout and amenities.
