The Beechcraft King Air 360 is a twin‑turboprop typically used in the utility/light business category, trading jet speed for short/rough‑field flexibility; it generally carries about 6–9 passengers with roughly 1,500–1,800 nm range depending on payload and reserves. The Embraer Phenom 100EV is an entry‑level very light jet, usually 4–7 passengers, with about 1,100–1,200 nm range. The Embraer Phenom 300E is a light jet and a step up in cabin and performance, commonly 6–9 passengers, with about 2,000–2,100 nm range. The Cessna Citation Latitude sits in the midsize/super‑midsize crossover, typically 7–9 passengers, offering around 2,700 nm range. The Gulfstream G280 is a super‑midsize jet with a larger, longer‑leg capability than Latitude in many missions, commonly 8–10 passengers, around 3,600 nm range.
