DASSAULT FALCON 10X vs GULFSTREAM G800 vs GLOBAL 8000: Which New-Generation Long-Range Jet to Choose?
1. Which jet offers the longest range?
-
Gulfstream G800: 14,816 km (8,000 nm)
-
Global 8000: 14,631 km (7,900 nm)
-
Falcon 10X: 13,900 km
Range remains a decisive factor for intercontinental missions. The G800 currently claims the longest range ever announced for a business jet, capable of flying nonstop from Singapore to San Francisco, London to Buenos Aires, or Hong Kong to New York, even under challenging weather conditions. The Global 8000 follows closely, handling direct routes such as Tokyo–Miami, Dubai–Los Angeles, and Geneva–Santiago, while maintaining a superior cruising speed. The Falcon 10X, although slightly behind in raw range, still covers the vast majority of global missions—think Paris–Johannesburg, Geneva–Bangkok, or New York–Tel Aviv—and offers exceptional runway flexibility for more versatile operations.
2. Which cabin delivers the most luxurious onboard experience?
-
Falcon 10X: widest cabin in its class, fully customizable layout, cabin altitude: 3,000 ft
-
G800: quiet, spacious Gulfstream interior with panoramic oval windows, cabin altitude: 2,916 ft
-
Global 8000: three dedicated zones (office, suite, lounge), advanced air filtration, cabin altitude: 2,900 ft
In ultra-long-range aviation, the cabin becomes more than a space—it's a living environment. The Falcon 10X leads with the widest cabin on the market (2.77 meters), allowing for bespoke configurations: a private bedroom with double bed, separate office, multimedia lounge, or even a shower-equipped bathroom. The G800, in true Gulfstream fashion, delivers abundant natural light and ultra-quiet acoustics, creating a calm, productive atmosphere. The Global 8000 goes even further by offering a segmented cabin design, perfect for alternating work, rest, and relaxation on long journeys, with state-of-the-art air quality and pressurization.
3. Which jet delivers the best speed and cockpit technology?
-
Global 8000: Mach 0.94 (fastest), Bombardier Vision cockpit, Ka-band high-speed internet
-
Falcon 10X: Mach 0.925, fly-by-wire controls inspired by the Rafale, combined vision system (CVS)
-
G800: Mach 0.925, Symmetry Flight Deck™, active sidestick controls, advanced automation
When it comes to speed, the Global 8000 leads with Mach 0.94—offering real time savings on long-haul flights. The Falcon 10X brings cutting-edge military-grade technology into business aviation, including full fly-by-wire controls and combined synthetic/enhanced vision for optimized pilot awareness. The G800 features one of the most futuristic flight decks in the industry, with touchscreen interfaces, system redundancy, and industry-leading ease of operation.
4. When will each aircraft be available?
-
Gulfstream G800: certification and deliveries expected in 2025
-
Global 8000: expected to enter service by end of 2025
-
Falcon 10X: certification and first deliveries anticipated in 2027
The G800 is scheduled to hit the market first, making it attractive for clients seeking early access to next-gen range. The Global 8000 follows closely behind, appealing to Global 7500 users looking to upgrade in performance. The Falcon 10X, projected for 2027, will enter later but with unmatched maturity and innovation. Each manufacturer follows a different strategy: Gulfstream bets on early availability, Bombardier on speed and cabin evolution, and Dassault on technological superiority and tailored flying experiences.
