Over a decade after the release of the successful Falcon 2000, Dassault introduced the Falcon 2000LX sporting numerous aerodynamic improvements – including distinctive winglets – resulting in 200 nautical miles of additional range over its predecessor. The 2000LX aircraft boasts the same wide fuselage as the popular Falcon 900 tri-jet, and despite a six-foot reduction in cabin length, still offers more than 1,000 cubic feet of cabin volume able to transport up to 19 passengers in plenty of room and comfort. A stand-up lavatory and 134 cubic feet of accessible baggage space are additional benefits of this highly-successful aircraft series.
Derived from the Falcon 900 trijet, the Falcon 2000EX Easy incorporates its predecessor’s distinctive wing and forward fuselage in a shorter, more-efficient, twin-engine package that still offers truly transcontinental range of up to 3,000 nautical miles. Two CFE738 turbofans, developed in partnership between General Electric and AlliedSignal, provide fast and efficient operations, while a cabin volume exceeding 1,000 cubic feet offers stretch-out comfort for as many as 14 passengers. The Falcon 2000EX Easy was the first private jet designed by Dassault without a physical model, with its design created through Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application (CATIA) software that helped improve

Announced in October 2003, the Bombardier Global Express XRS was the first derivative of the original Global Express certified five years earlier, featuring greater fuel capacity to allow typically equipped aircraft to fly eight passengers 6,150 nm at Mach 0.85, all in even greater cabin comfort for passengers. The XRS also features an increase to maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) to 98,000 pounds, thereby affording greater range/payload loading flexibility for operators of aircraft having relatively heavy empty weights; furthermore, most operators have implemented a service bulletin that further bumps MTOW to 99,500 pounds, offering even greater loading flexibility and additional margin
The Global Express is truly the pioneer of ultra-long-range private jets, offering unprecedented nonstop capability and the ability to connect practically any two points on the globe with only one stop. At the time of the program’s launch in 1993, no other private jet was nearly as accommodating for long, transoceanic flights, with a customizable cabin offering three zones for increased privacy and comfort for as many as 19 passengers. One of the strengths of the Global Express is its ability to fly operate at its maximum range of 6,100 nautical miles without sacrificing speed, performing the mission at Mach
Scheduled to enter service in 2018, the Bombardier Global 7000 private jet will feature an 11 ft 3 in stretch over the Global 6000’s fuselage and a true, four-zone cabin offering 20 percent greater cabin volume than the current model. The Global 7000 is slated to have a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90 and a range of 7,300 nm, enabled by the next-generation General Electric Passport engines to deliver efficiency and emissions advantages, expected to show reduced NOx emissions and an eight per cent increase in overall fuel efficiency when compared to the industry leading Global Express XRS aircraft. It
Slightly smaller and even faster than the Global Express, Bombardier billed the Global 5000 as the world’s fastest ultra-long range private jet upon its introduction in 2001. The aircraft is intended for passengers that need reliability and speed – transporting eight passengers and three crew members 4,800 nautical miles nonstop at a speed of .85 Mach – but without the extensive range capabilities of the Global Express. Although cabin length is reduced by 32 over the Global Express, passengers are unlikely to notice the lost space as most of that reduction came from the Global Express’s crew rest and oversized
Introduced in 2006, the Bombardier Challenger 850 is the largest super-midsize private jet available within the Challenger family. Whereas the manufacturer later developed a line of regional commercial airliners based off its Challenger 600, 601, and 605 business aircraft families, Bombardier took the reverse approach with the Challenger 850 by basing the aircraft on its 50-seat CRJ200 airliner. The Challenger 650 features the same airframe and General Electric CF34-3B1 turbofans, each rated at 8,729 pounds of thrust, but replaces the CRJ200’s four-across airline seating with a three-zone executive aircraft cabin offering ample room and luxurious accommodations for 14-19 passengers.
