The Falcon 2000S and 2000LXS are super‑midsize/large‑cabin twins with broadly similar passenger capacity (typically 8–10); the 2000LXS generally offers more capability and comfort than the 2000S, with range in the mid‑3,000‑nm class. The Falcon 6X is a newer large‑cabin twin with a longer reach (around the mid‑5,000‑nm class) and typically carries about 10–14. The Falcon 7X and 8X are ultra‑long‑range trijets; both commonly seat about 12–16, with the 8X stretching range beyond the 7X (high‑5,000s to ~6,400 nm). The Falcon 900LX is a long‑range trijet with large‑cabin space for roughly 12–14 and range around the mid‑4,000‑nm class. Embraer’s Legacy 450/500 are super‑midsize jets, typically 7–9 passengers, with the 500 offering more range (about 3,000+ nm) than the 450. The Phenom 100EV is a very light jet for about 4–6 passengers and ~1,000+ nm range, while the Phenom 300E is a light jet for about 6–9 and ~2,000+ nm. The Praetor 500/600 are super‑midsize; both seat about 8–10, with the 600 reaching farther (around 4,000+ nm) than the 500 (mid‑3,000s).
