By category, the Daher TBM 960 and the Piper M500/M600 SLS are single‑engine turboprop airplanes, the Piper Arrow is a single‑engine piston airplane, and the Piper Seneca is a twin‑engine piston airplane; the rest are helicopters, except the Curti Zefhir, which is a light autogyro/gyroplane. For range, the TBM 960 is longest‑legged (roughly 1,000+ nm), followed by the M600 SLS (about 600–700 nm) and M500 (about 1,000 nm class in economy cruise), while the Arrow and Seneca are typically mid‑range cross‑country pistons (roughly 500–900 nm depending on fit and reserves). Among helicopters, the H225 offers the greatest range and endurance in this set (often ~500+ nm), the AW139 and H145 are next tier (commonly ~350–550 nm depending on tanks), with the H135 and H130 generally shorter (often ~300–400 nm). The Bell 505 and Enstrom F‑28F are light helicopters with comparatively shorter practical ranges (often ~250–350 nm), and the Zefhir is shorter still. For passenger capacity, the H225 and AW139 are highest (typically 12–15+), the H145/H130 are mid (about 6–8), the H135/Bell 505/Enstrom are lighter (about 3–6), the TBM/M500/M600 are typically 4–6 seats, the Arrow about 4, and the Seneca about 6.
