Aircraft are commonly compared by category, typical range, and passenger capacity, and these factors tend to move together. Light general-aviation pistons and small turboprops sit at the smallest end, usually carrying about 2 to 9 passengers and flying roughly 300 to 1,500 nautical miles depending on speed, reserves, and payload. Business jets span a wider band: light jets often carry about 6 to 8 passengers for around 1,200 to 2,000 nautical miles, midsize and super-midsize jets typically seat 7 to 12 for about 2,000 to 3,500 nautical miles, and large-cabin jets can carry roughly 10 to 19 with ranges commonly near 3,500 to 6,500+ nautical miles. Regional airliners, including turboprops and regional jets, generally serve short to medium routes, seating about 30 to 90 passengers with typical ranges around 600 to 2,000 nautical miles. Mainline narrowbody airliners usually carry about 140 to 240 passengers and fly roughly 2,500 to 4,000 nautical miles. Widebody airliners are built for high capacity and long haul, often seating about 250 to 450+ passengers with ranges commonly around 5,000 to 8,000+ nautical miles.
