Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G800 1

Dassault’s Falcon 8X is a long-range large-cabin trijet positioned for intercontinental missions with a typical range of about 6,450 nautical miles. It’s commonly configured for roughly 12–14 passengers (with maximum layouts higher), emphasizing efficient runway performance and flexible cabin arrangements. Gulfstream’s G650ER sits a class above in outright reach, offering around 7,500 nautical miles of range and typically carrying about 14–16 passengers in a high-end long-range executive layout (with maximum certified seating higher). It’s widely regarded as a benchmark for ultra-long-range capability and high cruise speed. The Gulfstream G800 is the newest and longest-legged of the three, designed in the ultra-long-range category with a published range of about 8,000 nautical miles. Passenger capacity is generally similar to the G650ER in typical configurations, often around 14–16, with a cabin arranged for multiple living zones on very long missions.
