Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G600

The Dassault Falcon 6X, Falcon 8X, and Gulfstream G600 all sit in the large-cabin, long-range business jet category, but they emphasize slightly different strengths. The Falcon 6X is best described as a long-range, large-cabin jet optimized for spaciousness and comfort; it offers one of the widest cabins in its class and typically carries about 12 to 16 passengers, with range around 5,500 nautical miles depending on configuration. The Falcon 8X moves into the ultra-long-range category, trading similar cabin comfort for more reach; it commonly seats roughly 12 to 16 passengers and is rated around 6,450 nautical miles, making it better suited to longer nonstop city pairs. The Gulfstream G600 is also an ultra-long-range, large-cabin jet, generally configured for about 13 to 19 passengers, and offers roughly 6,600 nautical miles of range. In simple terms, the 6X prioritizes cabin volume and economics, while the 8X and G600 compete more directly on maximum range, with the G600 edging range and typical capacity in many layouts.
