The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop airplane optimized for regional missions, typically carrying about 6–9 passengers with a long-range capability around 1,500–1,800 nautical miles depending on configuration and reserves. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin business jet designed for intercity and intercontinental-style trips, usually seating about 10–13 passengers with a range of roughly 3,900–4,000 nautical miles, making it the clear leader here for distance and cabin volume. The Bell 525 Relentless is a super‑medium twin‑engine helicopter aimed at offshore, corporate, and SAR-style roles, commonly configured for around 12–16 passengers, with range typically in the 500–600 nautical mile class (mission- and load-dependent). The MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer is a light twin helicopter suited to short-haul corporate, EMS, and utility work, generally carrying about 6–8 passengers with a typical range around 300–400 nautical miles. Overall, the Legacy 650E dominates range and comfort, the King Air 360ER balances runway flexibility with solid range, and the helicopters trade speed and range for vertical-lift access.
