Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Leonardo Aw189

The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop airplane best suited to fast point‑to‑point travel for a small group, typically carrying about 4–6 passengers in comfort, with a range on the order of roughly 1,500–1,700 nautical miles depending on loading and reserves. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin business jet, designed for higher‑speed, longer missions and more baggage, commonly seating around 8–13 passengers, with an approximate range of about 3,900 nautical miles. The Airbus H225 and the Agusta/Leonardo AW189 are twin‑engine, medium/heavy class helicopters optimized for offshore, utility, and VIP transport with vertical‑lift access; both generally carry more people than the TBM and can rival or exceed many light jets for cabin flexibility, typically accommodating roughly 12–19 passengers in higher‑density layouts. In range terms, they are far shorter than the Legacy 650E and usually shorter than the TBM 960, commonly around 450–600 nautical miles depending on configuration, payload, and reserves.
