Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Embraer Legacy 650e vs Embraer Praetor 600

In category, the Dassault Falcon 7X and Embraer Legacy 650E sit firmly in the heavy-cabin, long-range class, while the Dassault Falcon 900LX is also a heavy-cabin aircraft but is often positioned slightly below the 7X on ultimate capability. The Embraer Praetor 600 is best described as a super-midsize with near-large-cabin range performance, typically smaller and more efficient than the heavy jets. On range, the Falcon 7X is generally the longest-legged of the group at about 5,950 nautical miles, enabling many nonstop intercontinental missions. The Falcon 900LX follows closely around 4,750 nautical miles, while the Legacy 650E is similar at roughly 3,900 nautical miles. The Praetor 600 offers about 4,018 nautical miles, notable for a super-midsize and competitive with some larger jets on many routes. On passenger capacity, typical configurations put the Falcon 7X around 12–16 passengers, the Falcon 900LX around 12–14, the Legacy 650E around 13–14, and the Praetor 600 usually around 8–12, depending on layout and mission.
