Beechcraft King Air 260 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 vs Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Daher Tbm 910 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

The Beechcraft King Air 260 and 360 are pressurized twin‑turboprop business aircraft in the same family: the 260 is the lighter, simpler step‑up twin, while the 360 is the more premium, higher‑gross‑weight variant with generally longer legs and more cabin comfort. Typical passenger capacity for both is about 6 to 9 depending on seating and optional layouts, with real-world ranges commonly in the roughly 1,400–1,800 nm class (the 360 usually at the upper end). The Beechcraft King Air Denali is a newer, clean‑sheet single‑engine turboprop positioned above many owner-flown singles and aimed at efficient business travel. It targets about 6 to 9 passengers and roughly 1,600–1,800 nm range, depending on final certification and configuration. The Daher TBM 910 is a high‑performance single‑engine turboprop optimized for speed and owner operation, typically carrying 4 to 6 passengers (up to about 6 total occupants in common layouts) with range around 1,500–1,700 nm. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is a larger single‑engine turboprop utility/business aircraft, often seating 6 to 9 passengers (high-density options exist) with range commonly around 1,700–1,800 nm and strong cabin/cargo flexibility.
