Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Bell 525 Relentless vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Daher Tbm 960

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Daher TBM 960 are pressurized, fixed‑wing turboprops aimed at efficient point‑to‑point travel, while the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a rugged, utility turboprop for short, remote, or high‑cycle missions; the Bell 525 Relentless is a fly‑by‑wire, medium helicopter optimized for vertical access rather than runway performance. In range, the King Air 360ER is typically the longest‑legged of the fixed‑wing group at roughly 1,800+ nautical miles (mission‑dependent), the TBM 960 is close behind around the mid‑1,600‑nautical‑mile class, and the Grand Caravan EX is shorter, commonly around 900–1,000 nautical miles depending on payload. The Bell 525’s range is generally in the 500–600+ nautical mile class, varying with reserves and cabin fit. For passenger capacity, the TBM 960 is usually configured for about 4–6 passengers, the King Air 360ER commonly carries about 6–9, the Grand Caravan EX typically seats around 9–14, and the Bell 525 is often arranged for about 12–16 passengers in offshore/VIP layouts.
