1. Bombardier Global 8000 (Mach 0.94/721 mph)
The first place goes to the Canadian builders’ brand new aircraft. As the name suggests, it can cover an impressive range of 8,000 nautical miles. This marks the start of a new era: city pairs like Dubai-Houston and Singapore-Los Angeles are now possible!
At a demonstration flight, the Global 8000 reached the jaw-dropping speed of Mach 1.015 and became the fastest civil aviation jet since the Concorde. However, its maximum operating speed when used commercially will be Mach 0.94. Additionally, this aircraft is the first transportation airplane to reach the speed of sound while using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Up to 19 passengers can be luxuriously accommodated on board the fastest private jet in the world in 4 seating areas, one of which has an ensuite bathroom and a double bed.
Unfortunately, potential buyers of this magnificent ultra-long range aircraft will have to wait until it has entered service (in 2025). The list price will also be magnificent: $78 mln.
2. Cessna Citation X and X+ (Mach 0.935/717 mph)
The second fastest private jet was certified by the FAA with speeds of Mach 0.935 or 717 miles per hour. Citation X and its upgraded version X+ have a maximum range of 3,460 nmi. They are powered by two Rolls-Royce engines, and feature a glass cockpit equipped with a Honeywell avionics system.

The newest Gulfstream aircraft was announced in 2022 and will have a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.925 even if it reached 0.99 during testing. G700 covers a range of 7,500 nmi which makes connections like London-Singapore or LA-Tokyo quite possible.
The cabin of this private jet is as luxurious as can be and can seat up to 19 passengers, spread across 4 zones like in the Global 8000.
Reportedly, Elon Musk added a Gulfstream G700 to his private jets collection at the “insignificant” price of $75 million and will supposedly receive his this year (2023).

6. Bombardier Global 5500 and 6500 (Mach 0.90/690 mph)
The two Bombardier models take the 6th position thanks to their maximum cruising speed of Mach 0.88 (even though their maximum speed matches the one of the Falcons 7x and 8x). The Globals feature Pearl 15 Rolls-Royce BR700 engines and modern interiors.
The two big differences between the two models are the size and range. The 6500 has a maximum range of 6,000 nmi and the 5500 – 5,900 nmi. Both models would be able to complete a long-haul flight like London to Hong Kong.
7. Gulfstream G500 (Mach 0.925)
The French company Dassault is Gulfstream and Bombardier’s big competitor. The Falcon 7X and its upgraded version 8X are quite versatile and offer a great range of 6000 nmi and a maximum speed of 690 mph which can ensure a smooth and quick trip from LA to Paris.
Both jets feature an innovative digital flight control system and a wide selection of floor plans. The Falcon 7x can seat between 12 and 16 people and can travel with a crew of 3, so passengers can also rely on a flight attendant. This French jewel, reportedly owned by Bill Gates, will set you back $47.4m.
8. Bombardier Global 6000 (Mach 0.89 / 683 mph)
Like Global 8000, this Bombardier model got its name from the maximum range it can cover, 6000 nmi (London-New York).
What distinguishes this aircraft is its advanced wing design, the enhanced sound proof materials, and its two Rolls-Royce engines.
The Global 6000 used to be advertised as the best combination of speed, range and field performance and its unit cost is $45m.
A proud owner of a Global 6000 is Russian billionaire businessman Alexei Mordashov.

10. Dassault Falcon 2000LXS (Mach 0.862 / 661 mph)

Most of these jets are suitable for 8 to 12 people and have a spacious cabin. The Falcons 2000LXS are mostly known for their exceptional quietness: the noise passengers hear while cruising would be similar to a running refrigerator.
