Private jet comparison: questions buyers ask
How do I compare private jets?
Pick two aircraft above. The page lines them up on ten published figures (range, speed, ceiling, seats, payload, takeoff and landing distance, thrust, weight and wingspan), then races them on a real great-circle route, landing for fuel wherever the range runs out. Start from your mission: how many passengers, the longest leg you fly and the shortest runway you use.
Falcon 7X vs G650: which one flies farther?
The Gulfstream G650. It is rated for 7,000 nm at long-range cruise against 5,950 nm for the Dassault Falcon 7X, about 1,050 nm (1,945 km) more. On published range both fly Astana to New York (5,010 nm) nonstop.
Which is faster, the G650 or the Falcon 7X?
The G650. Its maximum operating speed is Mach 0.925; the Falcon 7X is limited to Mach 0.90. Flown at those speeds, Dubai to London (2,970 nm) takes about 5 h 36 m in the G650 and 5 h 45 m in the Falcon 7X.
Which private jet needs the shortest runway?
Of the four aircraft here, the Embraer Phenom 300E takes off in the shortest distance: 3,209 ft at maximum takeoff weight, sea level, ISA. The Dassault Falcon 7X has the shortest landing distance at 2,070 ft. For scale, London City Airport's runway is 4,948 ft; the Boeing 747-8F needs 10,100 ft to take off.
Can a private jet fly from Astana to New York nonstop?
The great-circle distance is 5,010 nm. On published range the Falcon 7X (5,950 nm) and the G650 (7,000 nm) can fly it nonstop. The 747-8F (4,120 nm) needs one fuel stop and the Phenom 300E (2,010 nm) needs two. Real flights depend on winds, reserves and payload.
How much bigger is a 747-8F than a business jet?
The Boeing 747-8F spans 68.4 m and weighs up to 447.7 t at takeoff: about 2.3 times the wingspan and 10 times the weight of a Gulfstream G650 (30.35 m, 45.2 t), and 53 times the weight of a Phenom 300E (8.4 t).
Which of these aircraft are still in production?
The Embraer Phenom 300E is still in production, with more than 900 of the Phenom 300 family built. Production ended for the Dassault Falcon 7X and the Boeing 747-8F in 2023 and for the Gulfstream G650 in 2025, so these are bought pre-owned.
Can I buy or charter these aircraft through ICCJET?
Yes. ICCJET lists aircraft for sale, cargo aircraft for sale and charter, and worldwide private charter, with aviation advisors for acquisition and finance. Use the links on this page or speak to an advisor.
Figures are manufacturers' published numbers. Range is still air at long-range cruise; map races fly the great circle at maximum operating Mach with one hour on the ground for each fuel stop. Real flights vary with winds, routing, load and reserves. Takeoff distance is at maximum takeoff weight, sea level, ISA.
