Midsize jets add a taller cabin, often a stand-up aisle and a full lavatory, seven to nine seats and about 2,000 to 3,400 nm of range: most US trips nonstop, coast to coast with the right winds. They usually fly with two pilots.

COMPARE

Every midsize jet side by side.

Published figures for each type (the best-documented variant where a page covers several). Value is Radar's value model by build year, the middle listing-based estimate, or a rough range for the type. Aircraft: US registrations where Radar matches the type to the FAA register, otherwise the aircraft on Radar.

QUESTIONS

Midsize jets: questions, answered from the data

What is a midsize jet?

Midsize jets add a taller cabin, often a stand-up aisle and a full lavatory, seven to nine seats and about 2,000 to 3,400 nm of range: most US trips nonstop, coast to coast with the right winds. They usually fly with two pilots. The 17 on Radar are published at 1,520 to 3,340 nm of range, with 8 to 15 seats at most.

How much does a midsize jet cost?

From about $255K for an older Falcon 10 to $20M for a recent Legacy 500, by Radar's value model, listing-based and rough estimates. Within one model, build year, hours, engine programs and the logbooks move the price.

What is the longest-range midsize jet?

The Embraer Praetor 500, published at 3,340 nm. Next: the Legacy 500 (3,125 nm) and the Hawker 900XP (2,904 nm).

What is the fastest midsize jet?

The Dassault Falcon 10, with a published high-speed cruise of 490 knots true airspeed (maximum operating Mach 0.83).

How many passengers does a midsize jet seat?

Between 8 and 15 at most, by model; the median is 10. Many aircraft are completed with fewer, larger seats.

Which midsize jet has the biggest cabin?

By published cabin height, the Cessna Citation Latitude: 6 ft 0 in high, 6 ft 5 in wide, 21.8 ft long.

Which midsize jets can fly New York to Los Angeles nonstop?

New York to Los Angeles is about 2,129 nm. 8 of the 13 midsize jets with a published range are published for it, on paper. Winds, payload and reserves decide any one flight.

What is the most common midsize jet in the US?

Of the models Radar matches to the FAA register, the Cessna Citation XLS, with 435 US registrations (FAA file of October 2026).
