I'm surprised by the negative reactions, this 5X is much more exciting than any of the reporters or analysts had dared speculate. They were all guessing a plane about the Falcon 2000 in size, with the same 900/2000/7X fuselage cross section, with something like 3500 to 4500nm range.

And $45M "well equipped" sounds like it would be competetive. Don't G550s and G650s sell for something like $55M and $70M GREEN with no options or interior? Sure those planes are in a different class, bigger, longer range, and heavier built, but the 5X will have some pure advantages as well: much better field performance and efficiency. Also, I think that a finished Global 5000 is somewhere around $45M and this plane seems like it will be much better.
