Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Embraer Legacy 650e vs Embraer Praetor 600
The Dassault Falcon 2000LXS and Embraer Praetor 600 sit in the super‑midsize class, typically carrying about 8–10 passengers, with the 2000LXS offering roughly 4,000 nm range and the Praetor 600 about 4,018 nm. Moving up, the Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin jet, commonly configured for around 13 passengers, with range near 3,900 nm, emphasizing cabin volume over maximum reach. The Dassault Falcon 900LX and Falcon 6X are large/ultra‑long‑range offerings with wider cabins and longer legs; the 900LX generally carries about 12–14 passengers and reaches roughly 4,750 nm, helped by its trijet design and strong short/rough-field capability. The Falcon 6X is the newest and most spacious of the group, typically 12–16 passengers, and is the range leader at about 5,500 nm, positioned for longer nonstop missions than the 2000LXS, Praetor 600, or Legacy 650E.
