Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Embraer Legacy 650e

The Dassault Falcon 7X is a long‑range, large‑cabin trijet business jet aimed at intercontinental missions. It typically seats about 12 to 16 passengers (with higher-density layouts possible) and offers roughly 5,900 to 5,950 nautical miles of range, making it well suited to nonstop city pairs such as North America to Europe. The Dassault Falcon 900LX is also a long‑range, large‑cabin trijet, generally positioned slightly below the 7X in range while still firmly intercontinental. Typical passenger capacity is similar, around 12 to 14 (often up to 16), with a range of about 4,750 nautical miles. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a long‑range, large‑cabin twinjet derived from the ERJ platform, commonly valued for cabin zones and operating economics. It typically carries about 12 to 14 passengers (up to around 16) and has a range near 3,900 nautical miles, better suited to transcontinental flights and some North Atlantic routes with favorable conditions, rather than the longest nonstop intercontinental legs.
