The ACJ350 is the corporate version of the A350-900, using the fuel capacity of the ultra-long-range A350-900ULR to fly 11,100 nm with 25 passengers. Its cabin is 167 ft long and 18 ft 5 in wide, and the German Air Force became the first operator in 2020, with Lufthansa Technik completing three government aircraft. The list price covers the green aircraft; completion is extra.
The BBJ 787-8 is the ultimate long-haul private aircraft, a Dreamliner with a 9,945 nm range that can connect virtually any two cities on earth non-stop. Its composite fuselage allows a 6,000 ft cabin altitude and higher humidity, and completed examples feature full bedrooms, offices and lounges for heads of state and ultra-high-net-worth owners.
The G800 is the longest-range Gulfstream ever built, trading a shorter four-zone cabin for an 8,200 nm reach at Mach 0.85. FAA and EASA certification arrived in April 2025 with first deliveries that August, positioning it as the direct successor to the G650ER and a rival to Bombardier's Global 8000.
The Global 8000 is the fastest civil aircraft since Concorde, certified to Mach 0.94 with an 8,000 nm range. Developed from the Global 7500, it entered service in December 2025 and adds a 2,900 ft cabin altitude, four true living spaces and Bombardier's Smooth Flĕx wing for exceptional ride quality.
The G700 is Gulfstream's flagship, offering the longest cabin in purpose-built business aviation with up to five living areas and a Pearl 700-powered range of 7,750 nm. Certified in 2024 after a lengthy program, it has quickly become the company's best-selling large-cabin model and holds numerous city-pair records.
The Global 7500 redefined the top of the market in 2018 with four distinct living spaces, a full-size kitchen and a 7,700 nm range that set the record for the longest business-jet flight. Bombardier delivered its 200th example in late 2024, and the type remains the best-selling ultra-long-range jet of its generation.
The G650ER extended the Collier Trophy-winning G650 to 7,500 nm and became the definitive ultra-long-range jet of the 2010s, setting more than 120 city-pair speed records. Gulfstream delivered the final G650-family aircraft in mid-2025 after roughly 590 units, handing the flagship role to the G700 and G800.
The Falcon 10X is Dassault's first twin-engine ultra-long-range flagship, with a carbon-fiber wing, a fighter-derived digital flight control system and the widest and tallest cabin in business aviation. The prototype made its first flight in June 2026 and the company is targeting certification and initial deliveries in late 2027, with a 7,500 nm range at Mach 0.85.
The G650 was Gulfstream's clean-sheet flagship when deliveries began in December 2012, offering a 7,000 nm range at Mach 0.85 and a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.925. In 2013 a G650 flew westbound around the world in 41 hours 7 minutes, and the programme won the 2014 Collier Trophy. The last G650-family aircraft left the Savannah line in 2025; the longer-range G650ER accounts for most of the fleet.
The G550 refined the GV with the PlaneView cockpit, an enhanced vision system and 6,750 nm of range, and it remained in production for nearly two decades. With more than 600 built, including many special-mission variants, it is one of the most numerous large-cabin business jets in service and a staple of the pre-owned market.
The ACJ319neo applies the A320neo family's new engines and Sharklets to the corporate A319, with up to five additional center tanks giving a 6,750 nm range for eight passengers. It offers the widest cabin of any purpose-designed bizliner in its size class and the flexibility of a certified airliner, and completions are typically handled by specialists such as Comlux or Fokker Techniek.
A stretched sibling of the G500, the G600 adds a fourth living area and extra fuel for a 6,600 nm reach at Mach 0.85. Deliveries began in 2019 and the aircraft has effectively replaced the G550 as Gulfstream's high-volume long-range offering, combining GVII-family efficiency with a cabin sized for intercontinental missions.
The Global 6500 re-engined the proven Global 6000 with Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 turbofans and a redesigned wing trailing edge, lifting range to 6,600 nm while cutting fuel burn by 13 percent. It carries over the Vision flight deck and the wide Global cabin, and it competes head-on with the Gulfstream G600.
The GV was the first purpose-built ultra-long-range business jet, winning the Collier Trophy in 1997 and opening non-stop routes such as New York to Tokyo. Just 191 were built before the G550 succeeded it, yet many remain in service thanks to a robust airframe and a 6,500 nm range that still competes with far newer designs.
The BBJ 737-7 is the longest-range member of the BBJ MAX family, pairing the smallest MAX fuselage with auxiliary tanks for a 6,500 nm reach. Deliveries await certification of the 737-7 airliner, which has been repeatedly delayed by engine anti-ice and other issues, so first customer aircraft are now expected no earlier than 2027.
The Falcon 8X stretches the 7X trijet and adds a redesigned wing and uprated PW307D engines for a 6,450 nm range, enough for Hong Kong to London non-stop. Its three-engine layout and digital flight controls allow steep approaches into airports like London City, and it burns notably less fuel than twin-engine rivals of similar range.
The BBJ 737-8 was the first BBJ MAX to enter service, delivered green from Seattle in 2018 and completed by specialists such as Jet Aviation and Greenpoint. It offers a 98 ft cabin and 6,350 nm range with 25 passengers, and its LEAP-1B engines and Advanced Technology winglets cut fuel burn by around 14 percent versus the previous BBJ2.
The BBJ 737-9 is the largest member of the BBJ MAX family, with the same 1,120 sq ft cabin area as the earlier BBJ3 and a range of 6,320 nm with eight passengers. The first green aircraft was delivered in August 2021, and it shares the LEAP-1B engines and 6,500 ft maximum cabin altitude of the smaller BBJ MAX models.
The original Boeing Business Jet, later called the BBJ1, combined the 737-700 fuselage with the stronger wing and landing gear of the 737-800, first flying in September 1998 with deliveries starting that November. Up to nine auxiliary belly tanks and optional blended winglets gave a range of about 6,200 nm with eight passengers, and 113 were delivered.
The Global Express XRS improved on the original Global Express with extra fuel, faster refueling and cabin upgrades, stretching range to 6,150 nm. Built between 2006 and 2012, it bridged the gap to the Global 6000 and today offers ultra-long-range capability at a fraction of the cost of a new aircraft.
The Global 6000 succeeded the Global Express XRS in 2012 with the Vision flight deck and cabin refinements while retaining the BR710 engines and 6,000 nm range. About 300 were built before the Pearl-powered Global 6500 replaced it, and it remains a widely traded large-cabin jet with strong support.
The ACJ320neo is the larger of Airbus's single-aisle corporate jets, with a 90 ft cabin that can be configured for 25 VIP passengers or up to 50 in high-density government layouts. Its 6,000 nm range and cabin altitude of 6,400 ft suit heads of state and large corporate groups, and the first example was delivered to Acropolis Aviation in early 2019.
The ACJ319, originally called the A319CJ, was Airbus's first corporate jetliner, launched in 1997 and first delivered in 1999 to a Kuwaiti customer after completion by Jet Aviation. Up to six additional centre tanks give a range of 6,000 nm with eight passengers, and the type has served as an official transport for governments including France, Germany and Italy. It was succeeded by the ACJ319neo.
The Global Express was Bombardier's first ultra-long-range business jet, pairing Rolls-Royce BR710 turbofans with a cabin 7 ft 11 in wide. Certified in Canada and the US in 1998, it was delivered from 1999 to 2006, and 150 were built before the Global Express XRS replaced it. Its Honeywell Primus 2000XP cockpit and early cabin systems make it one of the lowest-cost ways into a large-cabin, long-range jet.
The Falcon 7X was the first business jet with digital fly-by-wire controls when it entered service in 2007, and its three engines and highly efficient wing deliver a 5,950 nm range with short-field agility. Roughly 300 have been built, and the type continues in low-rate production alongside the 8X.
The Global 5500 is the shorter companion to the Global 6500, offering the same Pearl 15 engines and Vision flight deck with a 5,900 nm range. It gives operators a three-zone Global cabin at a lower price point and serves as Bombardier's answer to the Gulfstream G500 and Falcon 6X.
The ACJ TwoTwenty is Airbus's 'Xtra Large Bizjet', an A220-100 fitted with five additional fuel tanks for a 5,650 nm range and marketed against the Global 7500 and G700 with three times their cabin volume. Comlux completes the interiors in Indianapolis, and the first aircraft entered service in 2023 with FIVE Hotels and Resorts.
The Falcon 6X entered service in late 2023 as Dassault's first large twin, with the widest and tallest cabin of any purpose-built business jet until the 10X arrives. Its 5,500 nm range, PW812D engines and third-generation digital flight controls make it a direct competitor to the G500 and Global 5500, and deliveries reached about 25 by the end of 2025.
The BBJ3 is the business version of the 737-900ER, about 16 ft longer than the BBJ2, with 1,120 sq ft of floor space and 89 percent more luggage space. Boeing completed the first aircraft in 2008, fitted with a long-range auxiliary fuel system and a head-up display, and its range of up to 5,435 nm is slightly shorter than that of the smaller BBJs. Seven were delivered.
The G500 introduced Gulfstream's clean-sheet GVII family in 2018, with full fly-by-wire controls, active sidesticks and the touchscreen-based Symmetry flight deck. Its 5,300 nm range at Mach 0.85 connects Los Angeles with London or New York with Dubai, and the type has become the backbone of Gulfstream's large-cabin sales.
The Global 5000 shortened the Global Express fuselage to create a lighter, more affordable large-cabin jet with a 5,200 nm range after later fuel upgrades. Produced from 2005 to 2020, it retained the full Global cabin width and became a popular choice for corporate operators who did not need the flagship's range.
The Falcon 900LX is the latest version of the Falcon 900 trijet family, adding blended winglets for a 4,750 nm range and Dassault's EASy II flight deck. It remains the lightest large-cabin jet in production, which translates into low fuel burn, access to short runways and one of the best operating economics in its class.
The Lineage 1000E was Embraer's bizliner conversion of the E190 regional jet, offering five cabin zones, an optional master bedroom with shower and a 4,600 nm range. Only about 30 Lineage aircraft were built, and the 1000E variant with its head-up display and Fly Embraer service package represents the final and most capable configuration.
The Falcon 900EX EASy introduced Dassault's Honeywell-based EASy flight deck to the 900 series in 2003, along with a 4,500 nm range and the trijet's hallmark short-field performance. It was succeeded by the 900LX in 2010 and now offers large-cabin buyers a well-supported aircraft at mid-size prices.
The Falcon 900EX, certified in 1996, re-engined the 900 with TFE731-60 turbofans and added fuel tankage, lifting range to 4,500 nm with eight passengers. It introduced a Honeywell Primus 2000 flight deck with autothrottle and remained in production until the EASy cockpit replaced it in 2003, by which time 118 aircraft of this version had been built.
The G450 modernized the GIV line with a lengthened forward fuselage, the PlaneView cockpit and upgraded Tay engines. Produced from 2005 to 2018, it delivered a 4,350 nm range and Gulfstream's signature large oval windows at a price point well below the G550, and it remains a popular value proposition on the used market.
The GIV-SP (Special Performance) upgraded the original Gulfstream IV with higher landing weights and improved payload-range, becoming the definitive large-cabin jet of the 1990s. Roughly 300 were delivered before the G400 and G450 took over, and the type continues to offer one of the lowest acquisition costs for a Gulfstream cabin.
The G400 brings Gulfstream's Symmetry flight deck and fly-by-wire architecture to the entry-level large-cabin segment. First flown in August 2024, it shares its fuselage cross-section with the G500 and G600 while targeting 4,200 nm of range on new PW812GA engines, with certification and first deliveries expected in 2026.
The ACJ318 was the corporate version of the A318, the smallest member of the A320 family, announced in 2005 as the A318 Elite and delivered from 2007, with Swiss charter operator Comlux as launch customer. With two additional centre tanks it offered a 4,200 nm range and cabins for 14 to 18 passengers, and about 20 were delivered before production ended in 2013.
The Falcon 900DX was a shorter-range version of the 900EX EASy, delivered from 2005 with the same TFE731-60 engines and EASy flight deck but about 2,000 lb less usable fuel, giving 4,100 nm of range. The lower weights improved field performance, with a balanced field length of 4,890 ft. Only 24 were built before production ended in 2010, making it the rarest 900 variant.
The Praetor 600 evolved from the Legacy 500 with added fuel, winglets and uprated HTF7500E engines, giving it a 4,018 nm range that is the longest in the super-midsize class and enough for London to New York. Full fly-by-wire, a 5,800 ft cabin altitude and a flat-floor cabin have made it a strong seller, with Flexjet as a major fleet operator.
The Challenger 650 is the latest evolution of the wide-body Challenger 600 lineage that dates to 1980, adding the Vision flight deck, uprated CF34-3B MTO engines and a fully redesigned cabin. Its 8.2 ft cabin width is the broadest in the large class, and the type is widely used for VIP, medevac and government missions.
The Challenger 605 updated the 604 with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 flight deck, larger windows and a refreshed interior while keeping the reliable CF34-3B engines. Nearly 290 were delivered between 2007 and 2015, and it remains one of the most cost-effective ways into a stand-up, wide-body cabin with 4,000 nm of range.
The Challenger 604 introduced a strengthened wing, more fuel and CF34-3B engines to the Challenger line in 1996, giving the wide-body cabin a genuine 4,000 nm transatlantic reach. With about 365 built, it is a mainstay of charter fleets and government operators and offers exceptional cabin volume per dollar.
The Falcon 2000LXS combines the 2000LX's winglets and 4,000 nm range with the 2000S's inboard slats, giving a large-cabin twin that can use runways under 5,000 ft. With a wide Falcon cross-section, EASy II avionics and modest fuel burn, it is a long-standing favorite of corporate flight departments that value efficiency.
The Falcon 900B was the 1991 update of Dassault's original Falcon 900 trijet, adding TFE731-5BR engines with 250 lb more thrust each and extending range to about 4,000 nm. It kept the 900's 7 ft 8 in wide cabin and 51,000 ft ceiling, and earlier Falcon 900s could be brought to B standard by service bulletin. Production ran until 1999, when the Primus 2000-equipped 900C took its place.
The Falcon 900C replaced the 900B in 2000, keeping the same TFE731-5BR engines and 4,000 nm range but adding the five-screen Honeywell Primus 2000 avionics suite. The designation is commercial rather than a separate certified model: it covers Falcon 900s built from serial number 179 with the Primus 2000 package. About 30 were produced before the line closed in 2005.
The Falcon 2000LX, certified in April 2009, added Aviation Partners blended winglets to the 2000EX EASy, raising range to 4,000 nm with six passengers at Mach 0.80. The winglets improved fuel efficiency by up to 5 percent at Mach 0.80 and were also offered as a retrofit for earlier Falcon 2000s. It was succeeded in 2014 by the 2000LXS, which added inboard slats.
The Legacy 650E was the final version of Embraer's ERJ-135-derived large jet, adding synthetic vision, an autothrottle and a ten-year warranty to the three-zone, 14-seat cabin. Produced in small numbers from 2016 to 2020, it offers exceptional cabin length and baggage volume for its price, with a 3,900 nm range.
Announced at NBAA 2009 and certified by the FAA in February 2011, the Legacy 650 extended the Legacy 600's range to 3,900 nm with more fuel, uprated AE 3007A2 engines and a higher takeoff weight. It kept the three-zone, 14-seat cabin with a lowered aisle for more headroom, and from 2017 it was succeeded by the Legacy 650E with synthetic vision and autothrottle as standard.
The Falcon 2000EX replaced the original 2000's CFE738 engines with PW308C turbofans and added fuel, boosting range to 3,800 nm and laying the foundation for the EASy, DX and LX variants. Produced through 2010, it delivers a wide-body cabin and transatlantic capability for the price of a new light jet.
The G350 was a lower-priced, reduced-fuel version of the G450, approved on the same type certificate and delivered from 2005 with the same PlaneView flight deck and Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8C engines. It cost about $5 million less than the G450, with a 3,000 lb lower maximum takeoff weight and roughly 550 nm less range. Production was limited, and General Motors operated five.
The G280 is Gulfstream's super-midsize entry, built in partnership with Israel Aerospace Industries and delivered since 2012. It pairs a transcontinental 3,600 nm range with the PlaneView280 flight deck and one of the largest cabins in its class, making it a favorite of fractional operators and corporate flight departments alike.
The G300 is Gulfstream's successor to the G280 super-midsize jet, unveiled in Savannah in September 2025 and assembled with Israel Aerospace Industries. It retains the G280's Honeywell HTF7250G engines but adds a longer two-zone cabin, ten panoramic oval windows and the touchscreen Harmony flight deck derived from the Symmetry cockpit. The first aircraft flew on 5 December 2025, and service entry is targeted for 2027.
The Challenger 601-3A brought a Sperry SPZ-8000 glass cockpit and uprated CF34-3A engines to Canadair's wide-body business jet in 1987, and the 601-3R of 1993 added CF34-3A1 engines and a standard tail fuel tank. About 190 of the two versions were built before the Challenger 604 replaced them, and they remain among the least expensive ways into an 8 ft wide stand-up cabin.
The Citation Longitude is Cessna's super-midsize flagship, with a quiet flat-floor cabin, Garmin G5000 avionics and a 3,500 nm range that links New York with London. Since 2019 it has become a major fleet aircraft for NetJets and has been adopted by the US Air Force as the T-54A trainer, underscoring its low operating costs.
The Citation X+ was the fastest civilian aircraft of its era, certified to Mach 0.935 with a stretched cabin, winglets and Garmin G5000 avionics over the original Citation X. Only 24 were delivered before production ended in 2018, making it a rare high-performance option that still outpaces every business jet except the Global 8000.
The Challenger 3500 updates the top-selling Challenger 350 with Nuage seats, voice-controlled cabin systems and an autothrottle, while keeping the 3,400 nm range and widest cabin in the super-midsize class. It has led its segment in deliveries since entering service in 2022, anchored by large fractional fleet orders.
The Legacy 600 is the business-jet derivative of Embraer's ERJ 135 regional airliner, launched as the Legacy 2000 at Farnborough in 2000 and delivered from 2002. Added fuel tanks give a 3,400 nm range, and the airliner fuselage provides a three-zone cabin for up to 14 passengers with 286 cu ft of baggage space. About 177 were built before production ended in 2015, and used examples were listed at roughly $3.5 million to $9.4 million in 2025.
The G200 began as the IAI Galaxy, developed by Israel Aerospace Industries' Galaxy Aerospace subsidiary and delivered from 1999, and was renamed after Gulfstream bought the programme in 2001. It combined a new wide fuselage with a strengthened Astra SPX wing, seating up to 10 passengers with a 3,400 nm range. Production ended in December 2011 after 250 aircraft, and the G280 succeeded it.
The Citation X was the fastest business jet of its era when it entered service in July 1996, certified to Mach 0.92 with Rolls-Royce AE 3007C turbofans and a highly swept wing. The first delivery went to golfer Arnold Palmer, and the design was later refined into the Citation X+ with a longer cabin and Garmin G5000 avionics.
The Falcon 2000S was positioned as a large-cabin alternative to super-midsize jets, pairing the full Falcon 2000 fuselage with a lower fuel capacity, inboard slats and a 3,350 nm range. Produced in modest numbers between 2013 and 2021, it offers exceptional short-field performance and the widest cabin in its price bracket.
The Praetor 500 is the midsize sibling of the Praetor 600, upgraded from the Legacy 450 with a 3,340 nm range that allows true coast-to-coast US flights with reserves. It shares the family's fly-by-wire controls, six-foot flat-floor cabin and Pro Line Fusion cockpit, and NetJets selected it as a fleet type in 2023.
The Hawker 4000 was the first super-midsize business jet with a composite fuselage and offered a large flat-floor cabin, PW308A engines and a 3,280 nm range. A protracted development and the manufacturer's bankruptcy limited production to about 75 aircraft, making it a capable super-midsize jet available at remarkably low prices.
The Challenger 350 was the best-selling super-midsize jet of the 2010s, adding canted winglets, more powerful HTF7350 engines and a redesigned cabin to the Challenger 300 formula. Roughly 400 were built before the 3500 took over, and its 3,200 nm range and flat-floor cabin keep it in strong demand on the pre-owned market.
The Sovereign+ updated the popular Citation Sovereign with winglets, Garmin G5000 avionics, autothrottles and a 3,200 nm range. Renowned for its short-field performance and long cabin, it was retired from production in 2021 as the Longitude and Latitude covered its market space.
The Legacy 500 was the first midsize jet with full fly-by-wire controls and introduced a six-foot flat-floor cabin that reset expectations for the class in 2014. About 80 were delivered before it evolved into the Praetor 600, and many have since been upgraded to Praetor standard through Embraer's conversion program.
The Challenger 300 was a clean-sheet design that created the modern super-midsize segment when it entered service in 2004, pairing a stand-up flat-floor cabin with 3,100 nm of coast-to-coast range. About 450 were built, and its robust HTF7000 engines and simple systems make it one of the most economical jets in its class to operate.
The Falcon 50 was Dassault's first trijet and the first civil aircraft with a supercritical wing, certified in February 1979 after a first flight in November 1976. It paired the Falcon 20's fuselage cross-section with three TFE731-3 engines, an S-duct center intake and a range of about 3,000 nm. About 252 were built before the 50EX took over in 1997, and the design led directly to the Falcon 900.
The Falcon 50EX was the final iteration of Dassault's pioneering trijet, adding TFE731-40 engines and Pro Line 4 avionics for a 3,025 nm range and improved hot-and-high performance. Around 100 were built between 1997 and 2008, and its three-engine redundancy still appeals to operators flying long overwater or remote-airport missions.
The original Falcon 2000 entered service in 1995 as a twin-engine derivative of the Falcon 900, sharing its fuselage cross-section and wing design with a fuselage about 7 ft shorter. Powered by CFE738 turbofans and fitted with Collins Pro Line 4 avionics, it flew eight passengers 3,000 nm. About 230 were built before the PW308C-powered 2000EX took over.
The G150 replaced the G100 in 2006 as a development of that design with a fuselage 12 in wider, a new nose and a higher maximum takeoff weight, flying four passengers 3,000 nm. Built by Israel Aerospace Industries and completed by Gulfstream in Dallas, it was certified for steep approaches into London City Airport. Gulfstream ended production in 2017 after nearly 120 had been delivered.
The Legacy 450 shortened the Legacy 500 to compete in the light-midsize segment while keeping fly-by-wire controls and the stand-up flat-floor cabin. Just 58 were built between 2015 and 2019 before the Praetor 500 replaced it, and Embraer offers a factory upgrade path to Praetor 500 performance.
The Citation Sovereign combined a stretched Citation Excel fuselage with an all-new, larger wing and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C engines, entering service in 2004 with a Honeywell Primus Epic cockpit. It pairs short-field performance with near-transcontinental range, and 349 were built before the Sovereign+ took over in 2013.
The Hawker 900XP added winglets, TFE731-50R engines and Pro Line 21 avionics to the 800 series, stretching range to 2,818 nm and improving hot-and-high performance. Produced until Hawker Beechcraft's 2013 bankruptcy, it represents the most refined version of the classic Hawker midsize cabin.
The Challenger 850 is the business version of the 50-seat CRJ200 regional airliner, first sold as the Challenger SE from 1996 and renamed Challenger 850 in 2006. Its 48 ft cabin typically seats 14, and range with eight passengers is about 2,800 nm. Seventy-one were delivered before production ended in 2012, many of them to charter and corporate shuttle operators.
The Citation Latitude brought a wide, stand-up flat-floor cabin to the midsize class in 2015 and quickly became the best-selling midsize jet in the world, thanks in large part to a NetJets order for up to 200 aircraft. It pairs a 2,700 nm range with excellent short-field performance and Garmin G5000 avionics.
The King Air 360ER is the extended-range, higher-weight version of the King Air 360, carrying 5,192 lb of usable fuel at a 16,500 lb takeoff weight for a maximum range of 2,690 nm. Certified in October 2020 alongside the 360 and succeeding the 350ER, it is used for special missions such as surveillance, medevac and flight inspection as well as corporate transport.
The Hawker 850XP added factory winglets, a refreshed interior and a Collins Pro Line 21 cockpit to the Hawker 800XP, extending range to about 2,640 nm with four passengers. Certified in March 2006, it was built until 2009, when the TFE731-50R-powered 900XP replaced it; about 100 were produced.
The HondaJet Echelon (HA-480) is Honda Aircraft's move into the light-jet segment, designed as the first single-pilot jet able to cross the United States non-stop with a 2,625 nm range. It pairs Williams FJ44-4C engines and a 47,000 ft ceiling with an enhanced Garmin G3000 suite, and Honda is targeting first flight in 2026 and certification in 2028 with close to 500 letters of intent in hand.
The Hawker 800XP is the most numerous version of the British-designed Hawker 800 line that Raytheon produced in Wichita from 1995 to 2005. Its wide stand-up cabin, rugged airframe and 2,540 nm range made it the definitive midsize charter jet of its era, and low purchase prices keep it popular despite older systems.
The SJ30i is SyberJet's modernized version of the SJ30-2, a swept-wing light jet that is uniquely capable of holding a sea-level cabin to 41,000 ft and cruising at Mach 0.83 over 2,500 nm. The i-model adds Honeywell Epic-based SyberVision avionics, but the program has progressed slowly and no production examples have yet been delivered.
The Learjet 60XR modernized the fast-climbing Learjet 60 with Pro Line 21 avionics and a redesigned interior, keeping the PW305A engines that push it to 41,000 ft in under 20 minutes. Its stand-up midsize cabin and 2,405 nm range come at some of the lowest prices in the segment, offset by a longer runway requirement.
The Learjet 60 succeeded the Learjet 55C as the brand's midsize model, gaining FAA certification in January 1993 with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A engines and Collins Pro Line 4 avionics. About 316 were built before the Pro Line 21-equipped 60XR replaced it in 2007. Its 5 ft 9 in cabin height and roughly 2,400 nm range come with a long takeoff run.
The CJ4 Gen2 is the largest of Cessna's single-pilot CitationJets, with a swept wing, Williams FJ44-4A engines and a 2,165 nm range. The Gen2 update added a redesigned cabin, new seats and cockpit refinements, keeping the CJ4 the go-to choice for owner-pilots who want light-jet speed with midsize-style range.
The Learjet 55 was the only model of the planned Learjet 50 series to be built, designed with a larger cabin than earlier Learjets and fitted with NASA-developed winglets and Garrett TFE731-3 engines. Production aircraft followed from 1981, and 147 were delivered, including the later 55C with delta fins for better stability and runway performance.
The CJ4 brought a swept wing and 3,621 lbf Williams FJ44-4A engines to the CitationJet line when deliveries began in April 2010. With a Collins Pro Line 21 cockpit, a 2,165 nm range and a 451-knot cruise, it was the largest single-pilot Citation until the CJ4 Gen2 replaced it in 2021.
The Hawker 750 is a lighter version of the Hawker 850XP that replaces the ventral fuel tank with an external baggage compartment, giving it 79 cu ft of baggage space and a 27,000 lb takeoff weight. It keeps the Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines and six-foot-wide cabin of the 800 series, and 48 were built between 2008 and 2011.
The XLS Gen2 was the fourth generation of the Citation Excel family, refreshing the cabin with new seats, lighting and a redesigned entry while keeping the Pro Line 21 cockpit and 2,100 nm range. It bridged the gap until the Citation Ascend entered service in late 2025 and inherits the Excel line's reputation for reliability and low costs.
The Learjet 75, marketed as the Liberty in its final configuration from 2020, was the last Learjet ever built and closed the storied brand's production in 2022. Its Vision flight deck, 51,000 ft ceiling and Mach 0.81 speed carried the Learjet performance tradition, while the Liberty's Executive Suite added a pocket door and six-seat layout.
The Learjet 70 was the shorter companion to the Learjet 75, upgrading the Learjet 40XR with the Vision flight deck, canted winglets and TFE731-40BR engines. Only about two dozen were built before Bombardier consolidated on the 75, making it a rare but capable light jet with Mach 0.81 performance.
The CJ3 Gen2 succeeds the CJ3+ with Garmin G3000 avionics featuring Garmin autothrottle, plus an upgraded cabin with a fully enclosed lavatory option. It keeps the CJ3's efficient straight wing and 2,040 nm range, and deliveries began in 2025.
The Learjet 75 replaced the Learjet 45XR in 2013, keeping the 45's fuselage but adding canted winglets, TFE731-40BR engines and a Garmin G5000-based Bombardier Vision flight deck. It was sold with an eight-seat cabin until the six-seat Learjet 75 Liberty took over in 2020. Its 51,000 ft ceiling and roughly 2,000 nm range were unchanged in the later version.
The CJ3+ replaced the original CJ3 in 2014, keeping its airframe and Williams FJ44-3A engines but adding a Garmin G3000 touchscreen cockpit with synthetic vision. It carries up to nine passengers 2,040 nm under single-pilot certification and remained in production until the CJ3 Gen2 succeeded it.
The Phenom 300E is the current version of the world's best-selling light jet, a title the Phenom 300 family has held for more than a decade with over 800 delivered. Since 2020 it has offered Mach 0.80 speed, a 2,010 nm range, a Bossa Nova interior and a runway overrun awareness system, while remaining single-pilot certified.
The Nextant 400XTi is a remanufactured Beechjet 400A/XP fitted with new Williams FJ44-3AP engines, Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics and a redesigned interior, cutting fuel burn by about a third and extending range to 2,003 nm. Around 70 were delivered from 2011, offering near-new light-jet performance at a fraction of new-aircraft prices.
The PC-24 is the only business jet certified for unpaved runways, combining a cargo door, a flat-floor cabin larger than most light jets and single-pilot operation. Pilatus delivered a record 51 in 2024 and introduced an upgraded version with 2,000 nm range and higher payload, keeping demand strong from owner-pilots, charter fleets and air-ambulance operators.
The Phenom 300 received FAA type certification in December 2009, and the first aircraft was delivered at the end of that month. Rather than a stretched Phenom 100, it was a clean-sheet design with swept wings, PW535E engines and single-pilot certification, offering a 1,971 nm range with six occupants. The original version was built until 2017, when the Phenom 300E with a redesigned interior and Prodigy Touch avionics replaced it.
The Learjet 45XR raised the maximum takeoff weight and engine thrust of the popular Learjet 45, improving hot-and-high performance and payload. It offers an eight-passenger cabin, Mach 0.81 speed and a 51,000 ft ceiling, and it remains one of the most affordable ways to own a Learjet with modern avionics.
The Citation Ascend is the fifth generation of the 560XL family, introducing a flat-floor cabin, larger windows, Garmin G5000 avionics with autothrottle and more efficient PW545D engines. Certified in November 2025 with first deliveries that December, it succeeds the XLS Gen2 and launched with NetJets as a fleet customer.
The Learjet 35A replaced the original Model 35 in 1976 with TFE731-2-2B engines and a higher gross weight, and more than 600 were built before production ended in the early 1990s. It cruises at about 460 kt with a 45,000 ft ceiling, and more than 400 Learjet 35s and 35As remain in service, including US Air Force C-21A transports and many air ambulances.
The CJ3 stretched the CJ2 fuselage and added a longer wing and Williams FJ44-3A engines, entering service in December 2004 with a Collins Pro Line 21 cockpit. It seats up to nine passengers, is certified for single-pilot operation and was built until 2014, when the Garmin-equipped CJ3+ replaced it.
The Citation XLS+ updated the 560XL with a longer nose, FADEC-controlled Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engines and a Collins Pro Line 21 cockpit when it was certified in May 2008. It seats up to nine passengers in a stand-up cabin, flies 1,858 nm with NBAA IFR reserves and remained in production until the XLS Gen2 replaced it.
Unveiled in February 2024 and FAA certified within weeks, the M700 Fury replaced the M600/SLS with a 700-shp PT6A-52 and a five-blade propeller, raising maximum cruise to 301 knots and cutting takeoff distance over a 50 ft obstacle to 1,994 ft. It retains the Garmin G3000 and HALO Autoland, the first production example was the 1,000th PA-46 built, and unpaved-runway approval followed in August 2024.
The Citation Excel married a shortened Citation X fuselage with a straight wing and PW545 engines to create the most successful midsize jet of its generation, later updated as the XLS with more thrust and Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics. Nearly 700 Excels and XLSs were delivered, and the type remains a charter workhorse valued for its stand-up cabin and short-field ability.
The PC-12 NG, certificated as the PC-12/47E, was launched at NBAA 2007 with a more powerful PT6A-67P engine and a four-screen Honeywell Primus Apex flight deck, raising maximum cruise to 280 knots. It kept the type's forward airstair and large aft cargo door, and about 942 were built between 2008 and 2020, when the PC-12 NGX replaced it.
The Learjet 45 was the first all-new Learjet design since the original Model 23, certified in 1997 and delivered from mid-1998. It pairs a flat-floor, double-club cabin with Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics and TFE731-20 engines, and 248 of the original version were built before the heavier 45XR took over. Many serve in charter and fractional fleets.
The Learjet 40 is a Learjet 45 shortened by 24.5 in, and it replaced the Learjet 31A when it entered service in January 2004. The 40XR, introduced in October 2004, added higher takeoff weight and uprated TFE731-20BR engines for faster climb and cruise. About 133 of both versions were built before the Learjet 70 succeeded them.
The King Air 360 is the latest evolution of the King Air 350 line, adding autothrottles, a digital pressurization controller and a refined cabin to the world's most popular twin turboprop. It carries up to nine passengers 1,806 nm at 312 knots and serves corporate, air-ambulance and special-mission roles worldwide.
The King Air 350 lengthened the King Air 300 fuselage and added winglets when it was introduced in 1990, becoming the largest model in the King Air family. The 350i, delivered from December 2009, brought a quieter cabin, a new cabin-management system and later Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics; it was succeeded by the King Air 360 in 2020.
The PC-12 NGX is the third generation of the world's best-selling single-engine turboprop, introducing the electronically controlled PT6E-67XP engine, a single-lever power control and a redesigned cabin with larger windows. With around 2,000 PC-12s delivered since 1994, the NGX continues to dominate the market for versatile, short-field-capable executive and utility aircraft.
The CJ2 entered service in 2000 as a stretched CitationJet with Williams FJ44-2C engines, and the CJ2+ followed in 2006 with FADEC-controlled FJ44-3A-24 engines, a higher takeoff weight and an updated Collins Pro Line 21 cockpit. Certified for single-pilot operation, it carries up to eight passengers 1,781 nm, and production ended in 2016.
The PC-12 PRO, certificated as the PC-12/47G and announced in March 2025, succeeded the PC-12 NGX with a Garmin G3000 PRIME-based flight deck, PC-24-style control yokes and Garmin Autoland. It keeps the NGX's electronically controlled PT6E-67XP engine, autothrottle, 290-knot cruise and large aft cargo door, and the first customer delivery took place in September 2025.
The Citation Encore replaced the Ultra in 2000 with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535A engines and trailing-link landing gear, and the Encore+ of 2007 added FADEC-controlled PW535B engines and a Collins Pro Line 21 cockpit. The Encore+ carries up to nine passengers 1,760 nm, and 233 Encores and Encore+s were built before production ended in 2010.
The TBM 960 is the fastest single-engine turboprop in production, cruising at 330 knots with a digitally controlled PT6E-66XT engine, a five-blade composite propeller and Garmin G3000 avionics with HomeSafe emergency autoland. Daher builds roughly 55 TBMs a year at Tarbes, and the 960 is the pinnacle of a family that has delivered more than 1,200 aircraft.
Introduced in March 2014, the TBM 900 reworked the TBM 850 with winglets, a redesigned engine air intake and a standard five-blade Hartzell composite propeller. The changes raised maximum cruise to 330 knots at FL280 and shortened the takeoff roll by about 20 percent, while range reached 1,730 nm at economy cruise. It was built until 2016 and was followed by the TBM 910 and 930.
The TBM 930, introduced in April 2016, combined the TBM 900 airframe and PT6A-66D engine with Garmin's G3000 touchscreen flight deck and an upgraded interior. It offered the same 330-knot cruise and 1,730 nm range and was sold alongside the G1000-equipped models, with 74 built before the TBM 940 replaced it in 2019.
The TBM 910 replaced the TBM 900 as Daher's G1000-equipped model in April 2017, adding Garmin's faster G1000 NXi flight deck, redesigned seats and an optional privacy compartment for the lavatory seat. It shares the 900-series airframe, 850-shp PT6A-66D and 330-knot cruise, and it was still offered alongside the TBM 960 in 2023 at an equipped price of about $4.55 million.
Introduced in March 2019 and certified by EASA that May, the TBM 940 replaced the 930 with an autothrottle, automatic ice detection and protection, and a redesigned cabin, and Garmin's HomeSafe emergency autoland later became available. It kept the 850-shp PT6A-66D, G3000 avionics and 330-knot cruise, and was succeeded by the TBM 960 in 2022.

The M600/SLS version added the HALO safety system with Garmin Autoland from 2020, and the M700 Fury replaced it in 2024.
The Beechjet 400A was Beechcraft's development of the Mitsubishi Diamond II, certified in 1990 with Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 engines, and it also formed the basis of the US Air Force T-1A Jayhawk trainer. It became the Hawker 400XP in 2004, and 593 400As and 400XPs had been built by the end of 2009.
The Avanti II, first delivered in 2005, updated Piaggio's three-lifting-surface pusher turboprop with PT6A-66B engines that hold their 850 shp rating to higher altitudes and a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 flight deck. It cruises at about 400 knots and maintains a 6,600 ft cabin at FL410, and 129 were built before the Avanti EVO replaced it in 2014.
Revealed in May 2018 and delivered from that August, the HondaJet Elite added an auxiliary fuel tank and aerodynamic refinements that raised NBAA IFR range by 214 nm to 1,437 nm with four occupants. Increased elevator authority cut the takeoff distance by about 500 ft to 3,491 ft, and payload rose by more than 200 lb through a lower empty weight and higher MTOW. The Elite S replaced it in 2021.
The Premier IA refined Beechcraft's composite-fuselage light jet with improved brakes, interior and avionics, delivering the widest cabin and fastest cruise in its class for single-pilot operation. Around 130 were built before production ended in 2012, and it remains an attractive owner-flown jet given careful attention to its landing performance.
The Premier I was Raytheon's clean-sheet light jet and the first business jet with a composite fuselage to gain FAA certification, pairing it with a swept metal wing and Williams FJ44-2A engines. Deliveries began in 2001, and it was succeeded by the improved Premier IA in the mid-2000s.
The Learjet 31A replaced the original Learjet 31 in 1991, adding a Bendix/King EFIS-50 digital cockpit, higher cruise speed and a steer-by-wire nose wheel. About 200 were built before production ended in 2003. It climbs quickly to a 51,000 ft ceiling, but its compact cabin and roughly 1,300 nm range suit it to short trips.
The CitationJet entered service in 1993 as an all-new single-pilot light jet with a T-tail and Williams FJ44 turbofans. It became the CJ1 with Collins Pro Line 21 avionics in 2000 and the CJ1+ with FADEC-controlled FJ44-1AP engines in 2005, and the design continues today as the Citation M2.
The Vision Jet is the world's only single-engine personal jet in production, famous for its whole-airframe parachute and the Safe Return emergency autoland system. The G2+ version added a takeoff-thrust boost and Gogo connectivity, and with more than 700 delivered the SF50 has been the best-selling jet by unit volume for several consecutive years.
Cirrus introduced the third-generation G3 Vision Jet on 3 February 2026, with a redesigned cabin seating six adults, controller-pilot datalink communications, alert-linked electronic checklists and automatic database updates through the Cirrus IQ Pro app. It keeps the FJ33-5A engine, whole-airframe parachute and Safe Return autoland, and was priced at about $3.68 million with options.
The King Air C90GTx was the final development of the King Air 90 line, adding composite winglets and a higher 10,485 lb takeoff weight to the C90GTi when it was certified in 2010. Powered by two 550 shp PT6A-135A engines and later fitted with Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics, it was built until March 2021.
The original HondaJet received its FAA type certificate in December 2015, with the first delivery that month. Its over-the-wing engine mounts, natural-laminar-flow wing and composite fuselage gave a 422-knot maximum cruise from two GE Honda HF120 turbofans, and the flight deck used Garmin G3000 touchscreens. It was priced at $4.5 million and was succeeded by the HondaJet Elite in 2018.
Announced in January 2019, the G2 Vision Jet gained RVSM approval and a 31,000 ft ceiling, lifting maximum cruise from 304 to 311 knots and range to more than 1,200 nm. It added autothrottle, Perspective Touch+ avionics, higher cabin pressurization and a quieter cabin, and from August 2020 offered Garmin's Safe Return emergency autoland. The G2+ succeeded it in July 2021.
The Phenom 100EX is the third generation of Embraer's entry-level jet, adding the Phenom 300E's Bossa Nova-inspired interior, a runway overrun awareness system and a larger baggage door to the 100EV platform. It retains the oval-cross-section cabin that is the roomiest among very light jets, with a 1,178 nm range and 406 kt cruise.
The Phenom 100 was Embraer's first business jet, certified by Brazil's ANAC and the FAA in December 2008 and first delivered that same month. It introduced an oval-section cabin styled by BMW DesignworksUSA, a Garmin G1000-based Prodigy flight deck and single-pilot certification, with a 1,178 nm range. The original version was built until 2013, when the Phenom 100E took over.

The Phenom 100EV (Evolution) was first delivered in March 2017 with uprated PW617F1-E engines, a Garmin G3000-based Prodigy Touch flight deck and a 406-knot high-speed cruise. The extra thrust cut the climb to 41,000 ft from 33 to 25 minutes and shortened takeoffs at hot and high airports. It was listed at $4.495 million and was succeeded by the Phenom 100EX at the end of 2023.
The first-generation Vision SF50 received FAA type certification in October 2016 and was delivered from December 2016 as the only certified single-engine civil jet in production. Built largely of carbon composite with a V-tail and a whole-airframe parachute, it was certified to 28,000 ft with a 300-knot cruise. The design won the 2017 Collier Trophy, and the G2 replaced this version in 2019.
The Citation Mustang was Cessna's answer to the very-light-jet boom, an all-new six-seat design with Garmin G1000 avionics and PW615F engines that entered service in 2006. Nearly 480 were built through 2017, and it remains one of the most affordable and reliable jets for owner-pilots making the transition from turboprops.
The Kodiak 100 is a single-engine utility turboprop designed by Quest Aircraft in Sandpoint, Idaho, certified by the FAA in May 2007 and first delivered in January 2008. Daher acquired the programme in 2019, and the current Series III adds Garmin G1000 NXi avionics with synthetic vision and an optional eight-seat executive cabin. Its 750-hp PT6A-34 and high-lift wing give a takeoff ground roll of about 934 ft.
The Kodiak 900 stretches the rugged Kodiak 100 utility turboprop by nearly four feet, adds a more powerful PT6A-140A engine and aerodynamic fairings, and lifts cruise speed to 210 knots. It retains the type's exceptional short-field and unpaved-strip capability, positioning it as an executive-capable backcountry aircraft for owners who value versatility over speed.
The Eclipse 550 was the production revival of the Eclipse 500, the aircraft that launched the very-light-jet category, adding anti-skid brakes, synthetic vision and auto-throttles. Only about 35 were built by Eclipse Aerospace and One Aviation before production stopped in 2017, but the type's twin-engine safety and 65 gph fuel burn keep it popular with owner-pilots.
The Eclipse 500 was the first very light jet to enter service, receiving FAA type certification in 2006 with the first delivery on 31 December that year. Eclipse Aviation delivered 260 before production stopped in October 2008 and the company entered bankruptcy; later owners upgraded many aircraft with the Avio NG avionics system, and the design was revived as the Eclipse 550.
