Super-midsize jets fly coast to coast nonstop: about 3,000 to 4,000 nm of range, eight to ten seats, a flat floor and a stand-up cabin about six feet high, at cruise speeds near Mach 0.8. Many share an engine family and cockpit with larger models of the same maker.

COMPARE

Every super-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

Super-midsize jets: questions, answered from the data

What is a super-midsize jet?

Super-midsize jets fly coast to coast nonstop: about 3,000 to 4,000 nm of range, eight to ten seats, a flat floor and a stand-up cabin about six feet high, at cruise speeds near Mach 0.8. Many share an engine family and cockpit with larger models of the same maker. The 11 on Radar are published at 3,065 to 4,018 nm of range, with 8 to 12 seats at most.

How much does a super-midsize jet cost?

From about $1.1M for an older Mystere-Falcon 50 (certified family) to $28.3M for a recent Citation Longitude, 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 super-midsize jet?

The Embraer Praetor 600, published at 4,018 nm. Next: the G280 (3,600 nm) and the Citation Longitude (3,500 nm).

What is the fastest super-midsize jet?

The Cessna Citation X, with a published high-speed cruise of 528 knots true airspeed (maximum operating Mach 0.935).

How many passengers does a super-midsize jet seat?

Between 8 and 12 at most, by model; the median is 10. Many aircraft are completed with fewer, larger seats.

Which super-midsize jet has the biggest cabin?

By published cabin height, the Gulfstream G200: 6 ft 3 in high, 7 ft 2 in wide, 24.4 ft long.

What is the most common super-midsize jet in the US?

Of the models Radar matches to the FAA register, the Bombardier Challenger 300, with 386 US registrations (FAA file of October 2026).
