Gulfstream Aerospace · Savannah, Georgia
Gulfstream Aerospace traces its origins to 1958 when Grumman Aircraft produced the first purpose-built business aircraft — the turboprop Gulfstream I — in Bethpage, New York. In 1978, entrepreneur Allen Paulson acquired the division and relocated to Savannah, Georgia, where Gulfstream remains headquartered today. Now a subsidiary of General Dynamics, Gulfstream has delivered over 2,000 aircraft worldwide. From the GII — the first business jet to fly nonstop U.S. to Europe in 1968 — to the record-breaking G800, Gulfstream has consistently defined the ultra-long-range category. Every Gulfstream features the company's signature oval windows, the largest in business aviation.
GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE

G800

The longest-range Gulfstream ever certified. 8,200 nm. New York to any city on earth.

The G800 answers one question with absolute authority: how far? At 8,200 nautical miles — certified by both FAA and EASA in April 2025 — it connects New York to Singapore, London to Perth, and Los Angeles to Dubai nonstop. The first customer delivery took place in August 2025 at Gulfstream's Appleton completions facility.

Powered by twin Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines producing 18,250 lbf each, the G800 shares its powerplant and advanced wing design with the larger G700 but wraps them in the G650-size fuselage. The result: 700 additional nautical miles over the G650ER with the same cabin cross-section. Sixteen panoramic oval windows — the largest in business aviation — flood the four-zone cabin with natural light.

The Symmetry Flight Deck, Gulfstream's award-winning cockpit, features active control sidesticks (an industry first), ten touchscreen displays, and a Combined Vision System merging Enhanced and Synthetic Vision into a single image. Cabin altitude at 41,000 feet cruise is just 2,916 feet — among the lowest ever achieved — virtually eliminating long-haul fatigue.

Advantages
  • Longest-range Gulfstream — 8,200 nm certified
  • Pearl 700 engines — class-leading fuel efficiency
  • 2,916 ft cabin altitude eliminates jet lag
  • Symmetry FD with active sidesticks

G700

Five living zones. The world's lowest cabin altitude at 2,840 ft. The flying estate.

The G700 achieves the impossible: you feel better when you land than when you took off. With the world's lowest cabin altitude of 2,840 feet — equivalent to conditions at 500 feet above sea level — long-haul fatigue is virtually eliminated. Five distinct cabin zones across 56.1 feet create a genuine flying estate.

Announced in October 2019 and stretched 10 feet beyond the G650, the G700 introduced the Symmetry Flight Deck with touchscreen cursor control — the most advanced cockpit in business aviation. Pearl 700 engines deliver both range and efficiency, while the aircraft's 113,500 lb MTOW makes it the heaviest Gulfstream ever produced.

The five-zone cabin typically includes a forward club suite, conference area, entertainment lounge, private suite with full bed, and crew rest area. Two enclosed lavatories, a full forward galley, and a separate crew galley support extended missions with complete self-sufficiency.

G650ER

The Collier Trophy winner that defined ultra-long-range for a generation. Deepest pre-owned market.

When Gulfstream launched the G650 in 2008, it didn't just introduce an aircraft — it redefined the category. Winner of the prestigious Collier Trophy in 2014, the G650 became the benchmark against which every subsequent ultra-long-range jet would be measured. The ER variant adds extended fuel capacity housed within existing wing space, stretching range to 7,500 nautical miles.

Over 500 G650/G650ERs were delivered between 2012 and the final aircraft in February 2025, making it the most successful ultra-long-range platform ever produced. Sixteen panoramic oval windows flood the three-zone cabin with natural light. BR725 engines provide proven reliability with one of the strongest global service networks in aviation.

The G650ER holds the distinction of the longest nonstop flight by a purpose-built business jet — 8,379 nm from Singapore to Tucson in April 2019. With the deepest pre-owned market in the ULR segment, the G650ER represents the best value proposition for operators seeking proven intercontinental capability.

Advantages
  • Collier Trophy — the industry benchmark
  • Deepest pre-owned market in ULR segment
  • 16 panoramic oval windows
  • BR725 extreme reliability track record

Bombardier Aviation · Montréal, Québec
Bombardier entered business aviation in 1986 when it acquired Canadair, inheriting the Challenger 600 line. Recognizing the demand for longer-range aircraft, Bombardier launched the Global Express program in 1991 — a clean-sheet design partnering with Canadair, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and BMW Rolls-Royce. The first Global Express flew in October 1996, and by 1999 it established Bombardier as a force in ultra-long-range aviation. The program evolved through the Global 5000, XRS, 6000, 5500, 6500, and culminated in the revolutionary Global 7500 — featuring the first purpose-built four-zone cabin. The Global 8000 pushes the boundaries further as the fastest civilian aircraft since Concorde.
BOMBARDIER AVIATION

Global 8000

The fastest large-cabin business jet ever built. 8,000 nm. Mach 0.95. Faster than anything since Concorde.

The Global 8000 answers the ultimate question in private aviation: how far, how fast? At 8,000 nautical miles and a maximum operating Mach of 0.95, it is the fastest civilian aircraft certified since Concorde. During flight testing, the Global 7500/8000 platform became the first business jet to officially break the sound barrier.

Certified by Transport Canada in November 2024, the Global 8000 is an evolution of the record-breaking Global 7500 platform, sharing its four-zone cabin, GE Passport engines (enhanced variant), and Bombardier Vision flight deck. The cabin features a full master suite with queen bed, dedicated entertainment lounge, formal dining area, and executive office.

Bombardier's proprietary Smooth Ride Technology — an active gust load alleviation system — uses sensors ahead of the aircraft to detect turbulence and adjust control surfaces in real time. Combined with the industry's lowest cabin noise levels, the Global 8000 delivers an environment of extraordinary tranquility at extraordinary speed.

Advantages
  • Fastest civilian aircraft since Concorde — Mach 0.95
  • 8,000 nm connects virtually any city pair
  • Four living spaces including master suite
  • Smooth Ride Technology — active turbulence mitigation

Global 7500

100+ world speed records. Four living spaces. The aircraft that redefined everything.

The Global 7500 is nothing short of a flying estate. Certified in September 2018 after a clean-sheet design effort costing over $1 billion, it was the first purpose-built business jet with four distinct living spaces — a full master suite with queen bed, dedicated entertainment lounge, formal dining area, and executive office.

Powered by GE Passport engines producing 18,920 lbf, the Global 7500 has accumulated over 100 officially recognized world speed records. Its 2,900 ft cabin altitude, combined with 100% fresh air renewed every two minutes and the Bombardier Nuage seat — the first new seat architecture in business aviation in decades — creates an environment that redefines long-haul comfort.

Over 200 Global 7500s have been delivered since 2018. Bombardier's SmartLink+ system provides real-time aircraft health monitoring and predictive maintenance, while the Vision flight deck features the same fly-by-wire technology derived from the CSeries airliner program.

Dassault Aviation · Paris, France
Dassault Aviation was founded by Marcel Dassault in 1929. The company that produced the legendary Mirage and Rafale fighters brings military-grade engineering to business aviation — including fly-by-wire flight controls, which Dassault pioneered in the business jet segment with the Falcon 7X in 2007. Dassault's Falcon line is distinguished by its trijet heritage (three engines providing redundancy for oceanic operations), exceptional short-field performance, and the lowest direct operating costs in the ultra-long-range segment. The company operates from Saint-Cloud near Paris, with completion centers in Little Rock, Arkansas.
DASSAULT AVIATION

Falcon 10X

The widest cabin ever built on a business jet — 9.1 ft. Four zones. Dassault's masterpiece.

The Falcon 10X is Dassault's most ambitious aircraft — featuring the widest cabin in business aviation history at 9.1 feet. This is wider than many commercial first-class cabins, enabling truly unprecedented interior configurations including a standing shower, full-height wardrobe, and a private suite rivaling boutique hotel rooms.

Originally scheduled for 2025, deliveries are now expected in 2027. The 10X is 33.4 meters long with a 33.6-meter carbon-fiber wing — a first for a Dassault business jet — and is powered by twin Rolls-Royce Pearl 10X engines producing over 18,000 lbf. The fourth-generation fly-by-wire system draws directly from Dassault's Rafale fighter, providing active turbulence mitigation that the company claims reduces turbulence impact by up to 60%.

Four genuinely distinct zones — executive office, entertainment lounge, private suite, and dedicated crew quarters — make the 10X a true long-haul platform. At 7,500 nautical miles, it connects Paris to Los Angeles, London to Singapore, and New York to Dubai nonstop.

Falcon 8X

The longest-range trijet ever built. 35% lower operating costs than nearest rivals. London City capable.

The Falcon 8X achieves 6,450 nautical miles — the longest range of any trijet ever produced. Dassault's proprietary Variable Camber Wing delivers 35% lower direct operating costs than comparable twin-engine ULR jets, making the 8X the economics champion of the segment.

Three Pratt & Whitney PW307D engines provide redundancy for oceanic and polar operations, while the aircraft's steep approach certification opens airports that twin-engine jets cannot access — including London City Airport with its demanding 5.5° glideslope. The EASy III cockpit provides what Dassault claims is the lowest pilot workload of any large-cabin aircraft, with full fly-by-wire controls derived from military fighter technology.

Falcon 7X

The world's first fly-by-wire business jet. Fighter-jet DNA meets intercontinental range.

The Falcon 7X rewrote the rules of business aviation when it debuted in 2007 as the world's first fly-by-wire large-cabin jet. Drawing directly from Dassault's Rafale fighter heritage, the Digital Flight Control System enhances safety, reduces pilot workload, and delivers unmatched smoothness in turbulence — the aircraft literally flies itself through rough air.

The trijet configuration provides fail-safe redundancy for oceanic and polar routing, while 5,950 nm range connects Paris to New York, London to Dubai, and Miami to Geneva nonstop. With the strongest pilot pool of any trijet type rating worldwide and pre-owned prices starting around $20M, the 7X represents exceptional value for operators seeking proven intercontinental capability with fighter-jet pedigree.

Embraer Executive Jets · São José dos Campos, Brazil
Embraer is the world's third-largest aircraft manufacturer, founded in 1969 in São José dos Campos, Brazil. Known primarily for its ERJ and E-Jet regional airliner families, Embraer leveraged the ERJ-145 platform to create the Legacy 600 business jet line in 2000 — offering airline-derived reliability at business jet operating costs. The Legacy 650E represents the ultimate evolution of this proven platform.
EMBRAER EXECUTIVE JETS

Legacy 650E

Unrivalled baggage capacity. Intercontinental range. The best value in its class.

The Legacy 650E is one of the most practical intercontinental jets ever conceived. With a cavernous 286 cubic-foot baggage hold — the largest in its class by a significant margin — and a three-zone cabin accommodating up to 14 passengers, it delivers genuine long-range capability at a fraction of the operating cost of larger jets.

Derived from the ERJ-145 regional jet platform, the Legacy benefits from airline-grade systems reliability, Rolls-Royce AE 3007 engines with a strong global service network, and the Honeywell Primus Elite avionics suite. The 650E variant (announced 2016) adds synthetic vision, autothrottle, and a restyled interior as standard, with a 10-year / 10,000-flight-hour warranty. Production concluded in 2022, making pre-owned the only acquisition path — and at $11M–$18M, it represents the best value intercontinental jet available.
