The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a fixed‑wing twin‑turboprop business/utility aircraft aimed at longer point‑to‑point travel. It typically carries about 6 to 9 passengers (depending on interior) and offers the greatest range of this group, roughly on the order of 1,500 to 1,800+ nautical miles with reserves, making it best suited to regional-to-long missions between airports. The Bell 525 Relentless is a super‑medium twin‑engine helicopter designed for offshore, corporate, and high‑end utility roles. It generally seats up to about 16 passengers in high‑density configurations (fewer in VIP layouts) and has a long helicopter range, roughly around 500 to 600 nautical miles depending on load and reserves. The MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer is a light twin helicopter (NOTAR) commonly used for law enforcement, EMS, and corporate utility. It typically carries 6 to 8 people including pilot(s) and has a moderate range, roughly around 250 to 350 nautical miles. The Robinson R66 is a light single‑engine turbine helicopter suited to personal, training, and light utility missions. It carries 4 to 5 people including the pilot and has a similar or slightly lower range than the 902, roughly around 300 nautical miles.
