Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Embraer Legacy 650e vs Embraer Lineage 1000e
By category, the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS is typically classed as a super-midsize jet, while the Dassault Falcon 6X and Dassault Falcon 900LX are long-range large-cabin business jets. Embraer’s Legacy 650E is generally considered a large-cabin (super-midsize/large) jet derived from the ERJ platform, and the Embraer Lineage 1000E is a VIP airliner in the “bizliner” category with the largest cabin and highest headroom among this group. On range, the Falcon 2000LXS sits at the lower end (roughly 4,000 nm class). The Legacy 650E is similar but typically a bit shorter (about 3,900 nm). The Falcon 900LX extends further (around 4,750 nm), and the Falcon 6X goes farther still (about 5,500 nm), making it the strongest for long nonstop city pairs. The Lineage 1000E is also long-range (around 4,600 nm class) but optimized for space and amenities. For passenger capacity, typical executive seating is about 8–10 on the Falcon 2000LXS, 12–16 on the Falcon 6X and 900LX, around 13 on the Legacy 650E, and roughly 16–19 (or more, depending on layout) on the Lineage 1000E.
