  2. The Dassault Falcon 7X and its successor, the Falcon 8X, can reach speeds of Mach 0.90 or approximately 690 mph. Celebrities like Taylor Swift have chosen the Falcon 7X for their luxury travels.

  3. Bombardier Global 7500: Mach 0.925 (710 mph)
  4. The Bombardier Global 7500, the world’s largest and longest-ranged private jet, can fly nonstop for over 8,880 miles and reach speeds of Mach 0.925 or 710 mph. Surpassing expectations, a modified test plane even broke the sound barrier, reaching Mach 1.015 (779 mph).

  5. Gulfstream G500/G600/G650/G650ER/G800: Mach 0.925 (710 mph)
  6. The Gulfstream lineup, including the highly anticipated G800, can hit speeds of Mach 0.925, similar to the Bombardier Global 7500. The G650ER, another remarkable Gulfstream aircraft, is one of the fastest private jets in the world.

  7. Dassault Falcon 10X: Mach 0.925 (710 mph)
  8. The forthcoming Dassault Falcon 10X is set to join the competition with its top speed of Mach 0.925. However, it won’t be available until 2025, offering cutting-edge technology and remarkable performance.
