Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Bell 525 Relentless vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Daher TBM 960 are pressurized turboprop airplanes, while the Bell 525 Relentless and MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer are twin‑engine helicopters. For range, the King Air 360ER is oriented toward extended legs for a turboprop twin, typically around 1,500 nautical miles class, making it the longest‑legged option here. The TBM 960 is a fast single‑engine turboprop with strong point‑to‑point range generally in the ~1,400 nautical miles class, usually competitive with (but often a bit less than) the 360ER depending on payload and reserves. The Bell 525 is a long‑range helicopter, commonly cited around the ~1,000 nautical miles class with auxiliary fuel, while the MD 902 Explorer is a shorter‑range utility helicopter, commonly a few hundred nautical miles (roughly ~300–500 nm class). For passenger capacity, King Air 360ER typically seats about 8–9 passengers, the Bell 525 is commonly configured for about 12–16, the TBM 960 usually carries about 4–6 passengers plus a pilot, and the MD 902 typically seats about 6–7 including the pilot.
