Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G600 vs Dassault Falcon 6x

Dassault’s Falcon 8X and 6X and Gulfstream’s G600 all sit in the large-cabin, long-range business jet category, but they emphasize slightly different strengths. The Falcon 8X is the longest-range of the three, typically quoted around 6,450 nautical miles, making it well suited to very long intercontinental missions while still offering a quiet, efficient three‑engine design. The Gulfstream G600 is also a true long-range large-cabin jet, commonly listed at about 6,600 nautical miles, and is positioned for high-speed transoceanic travel with Gulfstream’s signature cabin comfort and performance. The Falcon 6X is a newer large-cabin, long-range twin-engine model with a shorter range than the other two, typically around 5,500 nautical miles, but it focuses heavily on cabin cross-section and comfort. In passenger capacity, all three are broadly similar in typical executive layouts, commonly seating about 12 to 16 passengers, with maximum certified seating generally higher depending on configuration.
