Dassault Falcon 8x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Gulfstream G600

The Dassault Falcon 8X and Falcon 900LX are ultra-long-range trijets, while the Gulfstream G600 is a large-cabin, ultra-long-range twinjet. In range, the Falcon 8X generally leads the group at about 6,450 nautical miles, giving it the strongest nonstop mission flexibility. The Gulfstream G600 is close behind at roughly 6,200 nautical miles, also aimed at long intercontinental city pairs. The Falcon 900LX is typically lower at around 4,750 nautical miles, positioning it more as a long-range option rather than true top-tier ultra-long-range. For passenger capacity, all three are commonly configured for about 12 to 16 passengers in typical executive layouts, with maximum certified seating usually higher (often around 19). In practical use, the G600 and 8X tend to be chosen for larger-cabin comfort on very long legs, while the 900LX offers a slightly shorter-range but proven large-cabin experience with three-engine redundancy.
