Which Should You Buy: Gulfstream G650 or Dassault Falcon 7X?

Bottom line: Choose the Falcon 7X/8X for tri-engine redundancy, the best short-field/steep-approach performance of any ULR jet (London City) and lower fuel burn; choose the Gulfstream G650 for the longest range, highest cruise speed and strongest resale. Falcon = tri-jet/field/efficiency; G650 = range/speed/resale.

Pick the G650 if…

  • More seats — 19 vs 16.
  • Faster cruise — 488 kts vs 459 kts.
  • Longer range — 7500 nm vs 5950 nm.
  • Newer design — production from 2012 vs 2007.

Pick the Falcon 7X if…

  • Lower operating cost — ~$4500/hr vs $5800/hr.
