Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700
In category, the Dassault Falcon 6X, 7X, and 8X are large-cabin, long-range business jets, while the Gulfstream G650ER and G700 sit at the ultra-long-range, large-cabin end with generally larger cabins and higher cruise capability. On range, the Falcon 6X is the shortest-legged of the group at roughly 5,500 nautical miles, the Falcon 7X extends to about 5,950 nautical miles, and the Falcon 8X leads the Falcons at about 6,450 nautical miles. Gulfstream’s G650ER is longer-range still at about 7,500 nautical miles, and the G700 is similar-class with about 7,500 nautical miles, typically optimized for a larger, more flexible cabin rather than significantly more range than the G650ER. For passenger capacity, these aircraft commonly seat around 12–16 passengers in typical executive configurations. The Falcon 6X and 7X are often arranged for about 12–14, the Falcon 8X commonly 12–16, and the G650ER and G700 are frequently configured around 14–19, with the G700 generally offering the most spacious, highest-density layout potential.
