Beechcraft King Air 360 vs Cessna Citation M2 vs Cessna Citation Xls vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Piper M350

The Beechcraft King Air 360 and the Daher TBM 960 are pressurized turboprops, while the Piper M350 is a pressurized piston single and the Citation M2 and Citation XLS+ are light jets (with the XLS+ edging into the “light/midsize” class). For range, the TBM 960 is generally the longest-legged of this group, suited to longer nonstop missions for a single-engine aircraft. The King Air 360 typically offers solid mid-to-long turboprop range and strong flexibility for shorter runways. The Citation XLS+ generally provides longer range than the Citation M2, with more capability for longer city pairs, while the M2 is oriented to shorter light-jet missions. The M350 usually has the shortest practical range compared with the turboprops and jets, though it remains capable for regional trips. For passenger capacity, the Citation XLS+ and King Air 360 commonly accommodate the most people in typical configurations (often around 8–9 passengers, depending on layout). The Citation M2 and TBM 960 are typically configured for fewer (often about 4–6), and the M350 is usually around 4–5.
