Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx

The Dassault Falcon 7X and 8X are both modern ultra-long-range trijets, while the Falcon 900LX is best viewed as a long-range large-cabin trijet from an earlier generation. In range, the Falcon 8X leads, typically quoted around 6,450 nautical miles, giving it the most flexibility for nonstop intercontinental missions. The Falcon 7X follows at about 5,950 nautical miles, still firmly in the ultra-long-range class and capable of many transoceanic city pairs. The Falcon 900LX trails these two but remains highly capable at roughly 4,750 nautical miles, suiting long international routes with fewer nonstop extremes. For passenger capacity, all three commonly seat around 12–16 passengers depending on layout; the 8X and 7X are often configured for about 12–14 in executive comfort, while the 900LX is similarly typically arranged for 12–14, with higher-density options possible across the line. Overall, choose the 8X for maximum range and newest refinement, the 7X for near-8X capability with proven maturity, and the 900LX for strong long-range performance in a more classic large-cabin package.
