Dassault Falcon 7x vs Bombardier Challenger 650

Commercial aircraft generally fall into three broad categories: regional, narrow-body, and wide-body. Regional aircraft, including turboprops and small regional jets, are designed for shorter routes and frequent service between smaller airports; they typically fly about 200 to 1,500 miles and seat roughly 30 to 90 passengers. Narrow-body jets are the workhorses of domestic and short-to-medium international travel, optimized for high cycle use and fast turnarounds; they commonly cover about 800 to 3,500 miles and carry around 120 to 240 passengers depending on layout. Wide-body jets serve long-haul and high-demand routes, with larger cabins and greater fuel capacity; they often range from about 3,000 to 8,000+ miles and typically seat roughly 250 to 450+ passengers, though premium-heavy configurations can reduce capacity. In general, as category size increases, range and passenger capacity increase as well, but airlines may trade seats for cargo space or premium seating to match route economics and demand.
