The Piper M500 is a single‑engine turboprop step up in speed and altitude, generally around 1,000–1,400 nm with about 4–5 passengers. The Cirrus Vision Jet G2 is an entry‑level very light jet, usually flown with 4–5 passengers and about 1,200 nm range. The Daher TBM 940 is a fast single‑engine turboprop for longer point‑to‑point legs, about 1,400–1,700 nm and typically 4–6 passengers. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is a utility‑oriented single‑engine turboprop with generous cabin and payload, commonly 6–9 passengers and about 1,500–1,800 nm. The Beechcraft King Air Denali is a larger single‑engine turboprop positioned above the TBM/PC‑12 class, targeting about 8–10 passengers and roughly 1,600–1,800 nm.
