Transcontinental range, a true stand-up cabin and class-leading comfort — super-midsize jets are the segment buyers love.
Super-midsize jets seat 8–10 and reach 3,000–3,700 nm: US coast-to-coast nonstop with ease, and many transatlantic city pairs. They pair near-heavy-jet cabins with midsize-like operating cost, which is why the segment is so popular.

The Challenger 350/3500 is one of the best-selling business jets ever — a default choice for fractional fleets and owners alike. The Longitude and Praetor 600 compete hard on cabin quietness and range.

Once you fly private, the cabin becomes an office: Starlink/Ka-band connectivity, crew devices, scheduling and payments — all targets. Obsidian Helm is the private technology & cybersecurity office that secures the jet, the household and the ventures behind it. Remote, discreet, under NDA.

The Bombardier Challenger 350/3500 is the segment benchmark; the Citation Longitude and Praetor 600 are strong on range and cabin. The right pick depends on routes and cabin priorities.
Many can fly select transatlantic city pairs (e.g., US East Coast to parts of Europe) nonstop in favourable conditions. Longer transoceanic missions call for heavy or ultra-long-range jets.
New, about $21M–$30M; quality pre-owned from roughly $12M. Annual fixed operating is about $1.2M–$2M.
