Falcon 10X vs G500
The Falcon 10X leads, topping 3 of 7 compared metrics.
Put the Dassault Aviation Falcon 10X (introduced 2025) beside the Gulfstream Aerospace G500 (introduced 2018) and the trade-offs sharpen fast. Both are business jets, which makes them natural cross-shopping rivals. The clearest separation between them is range, where the Falcon 10X has the advantage. undefined

Falcon 10X vs G500: the key differences
- The Falcon 10X delivers 44% more range (Falcon 10X: 7,500 nm; G500: 5,200 nm).
- The G500 delivers 1% more cruise speed (Falcon 10X: 482 kt; G500: 488 kt).
- The Falcon 10X and G500 are evenly matched on passenger capacity, both at 19 seats.
- The Falcon 10X is the newer design (introduced 2025 versus 2018 for the G500), a gap of 7 years that usually shows up in avionics, cabin systems and fuel burn.
- The Falcon 10X is the larger aircraft by maximum takeoff weight (104,500 lbs versus 91,400 lbs), which typically buys more cabin and payload at the cost of higher trip economics.
Which mission suits which aircraft
The Falcon 10X is the stronger fit for nonstop ultra-long-haul routes — its 7,500 nm of range removes fuel stops on those legs. The G500, at 5,200 nm, is better matched to long-haul and transatlantic missions, where lower trip cost counts for more than outright reach. If most of your flying sits inside the G500's range, the Falcon 10X's extra capability is range you pay to carry but rarely use.
Which should you choose?
On published specifications the Falcon 10X leads on both range and cabin capacity, so it suits operators who want maximum mission flexibility from a single airframe. The G500 can still be the smarter buy on acquisition cost, operating economics, runway performance, or current availability — the factors that rarely show up in a spec sheet. Our acquisition advisory team can model both against your actual mission profile before you commit.
