Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Dassault Falcon 8X and Gulfstream G700 are ultra-long-range business jets, while the Sikorsky S-92 is a medium/heavy twin‑engine helicopter typically used for offshore transport, search and rescue, and government/VIP missions. In range, the G700 generally leads among the jets at about 7,500 nautical miles, enabling very long nonstop intercontinental sectors; the Falcon 8X is close behind at roughly 6,450 nautical miles. The S-92’s range is much shorter—on the order of about 500 nautical miles (varying by payload and reserves)—but it offers the unique advantage of vertical takeoff and landing and access to helipads and remote sites. For passenger capacity, the Falcon 8X is commonly configured for around 12–16 passengers in a business-jet cabin. The G700 typically seats a similar number in executive layouts, often around 12–19, with a larger cabin that supports more zones and amenities. The S-92 can carry more people in transport configurations, commonly up to about 19 passengers, though VIP interiors may reduce seating.
