Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Embraer Praetor 500 vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700

By category, Embraer’s Praetor 500 and 600 are super-midsize jets, typically used for shorter intercontinental missions with strong cabin amenities in a smaller footprint. Dassault’s Falcon 6X sits in the large-cabin, long-range class, while the Falcon 7X and 8X are ultra-long-range, large-cabin flagships. Gulfstream’s G650ER and G700 are ultra-long-range, large-cabin aircraft at the top end of the market, with the G700 generally positioned as the newer, larger-cabin offering. On range, the Praetor 500 is the shortest of this group, followed by the Praetor 600. The Falcon 6X reaches further than the Praetors, while the Falcon 7X and especially the Falcon 8X extend into true ultra-long-range territory. The G650ER and G700 are among the longest-range business jets available, with the G700 typically quoted slightly ahead of the G650ER. On passenger capacity, Praetor models usually seat fewer passengers than the large-cabin Falcons and Gulfstreams. The Falcon 6X/7X/8X commonly carry around 12–16, while the G650ER and G700 often accommodate similar or slightly higher typical layouts, with higher maximums depending on configuration.
