Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Dassault Falcon 2000s vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Dassault Falcon 2000S and 2000LXS are super-midsize twinjets: typically 8–10 passengers, with the 2000S around 3,350 nm range and the 2000LXS around 4,000 nm, making the LXS the longer-legged, more versatile variant. The Falcon 6X is a large-cabin long-range twinjet, generally 12–16 passengers with roughly 5,500 nm range. The Falcon 7X and 8X are ultra-long-range tri-jets; both commonly seat 12–16, with the 7X around 5,950 nm and the 8X about 6,450 nm, giving the 8X the greatest reach and typically the lowest cabin altitude. Pilatus offerings sit in different categories: the PC-12 NGX is a single-engine turboprop, usually 6–9 passengers with about 1,800–1,900 nm range, optimized for short/rough-field access and efficiency. The PC-24 is a light jet, typically 6–10 passengers with roughly 2,000 nm range, combining jet speed with strong short-runway capability.
