Beechcraft Bonanza G36 vs Daher Kodiak 100 Series Iii vs Piper M350

The Beechcraft Bonanza G36 and Piper M350 are both high-performance, pressurized (M350) or unpressurized (G36) piston singles aimed at personal and business travel, while the Daher Kodiak 100 Series III is a rugged turboprop utility aircraft optimized for short, rough-field operations and hauling. In range terms, the M350 generally offers the longest legs among the piston pair thanks to its pressurization and efficient cruise profile, making it well suited to higher-altitude cross-country flying; the G36 is also a capable cross-country aircraft but typically with somewhat shorter legs depending on power settings and payload. The Kodiak’s range is competitive for a turboprop, but its mission emphasis is more about lifting useful loads into short strips than maximizing nonstop distance at high speed. For passenger capacity, the G36 and M350 are typically six-seat aircraft (including the pilot), whereas the Kodiak is commonly configured for up to about ten occupants and can be arranged for mixed passenger/cargo use, giving it a clear advantage when you need to carry more people or bulky gear.
