Beechcraft King Air 260 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 vs Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Gulfstream G800 1 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Beechcraft King Air 260, 360, and 360ER are twin‑turboprop business/utility aircraft. The 260 is the smallest of the three, typically carrying about 6–9 passengers and offering roughly 1,700–2,000 nm range. The King Air 360 adds cabin and avionics refinements with similar capacity (about 6–9) and broadly similar range, while the 360ER targets maximum endurance with auxiliary fuel, trading payload flexibility for longer legs at roughly 2,000–2,500+ nm depending on fit and reserves. The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop in the personal/corporate category, generally seating about 4–6 passengers with around 1,500–1,700 nm range. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a fast twin‑turboprop business aircraft, typically 6–9 passengers with about 1,400–1,800 nm range. At the long‑range jet end, the Gulfstream G800 and Bombardier Global 8000 are ultra‑long‑range business jets, usually configured for about 12–19 passengers, with roughly 8,000 nm class range (Global 8000 around 8,000 nm; G800 around 8,000+ nm, depending on conditions and configuration).
