Beechcraft King Air 360 vs Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Daher Tbm 910 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M600 Sls
All seven are pressurized, single- or twin‑turboprop business aircraft, but they split into light singles, larger singles, and cabin-class twins. The Piper M600 SLS is the light, owner‑flown single, typically carrying about 4–6 passengers with a range around 1,400–1,700 nm depending on reserves and load. The Daher TBM 910 and TBM 960 are fast, high‑performance singles, usually flown with 4–6 passengers and offering roughly 1,500–1,800 nm class range, with the 960 aimed at more refined systems and efficiency rather than a big capacity change. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is a larger utility/cabin single, commonly 6–8 passengers (up to about 9 in some layouts) with roughly 1,500–1,800 nm range. The Beechcraft King Air 360 is a cabin‑class twin, typically 6–9 passengers with about 1,500–1,800 nm range and strong high/hot and redundancy advantages. The Beechcraft King Air Denali is a newer, large single intended to sit between TBM/PC‑12 and the King Air cabin experience, targeting about 6–9 passengers and roughly ~1,500 nm class range. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a distinctive cabin‑class twin optimized for speed and comfort, usually 6–8 passengers with around 1,500–1,800 nm range.
