In overall category, the Dassault Falcon 7X and Falcon 8X are large-cabin, long-range trijets, while the Gulfstream G650ER is a large-cabin, ultra-long-range twin-jet positioned at the top end of the intercontinental business-jet market. For range, the Falcon 7X is typically cited around 5,950 nautical miles, the Falcon 8X extends that to about 6,450 nautical miles, and the G650ER leads with roughly 7,500 nautical miles, making it better suited to the longest nonstop city pairs. On passenger capacity, all three commonly operate with about 12 to 16 passengers depending on cabin layout, with maximum certified capacities varying by configuration: the Falcon 7X and 8X are generally up to the high teens, while the G650ER is also often listed up to around 19. In practical terms, the 8X is an evolution of the 7X with more range and payload flexibility, whereas the G650ER prioritizes maximum reach and high-speed intercontinental capability.
