Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop business/utility aircraft suited to short and remote runways, offering roughly 1,800–2,000 nautical miles of range and typically carrying about 6–9 passengers depending on interior and mission fit. The Bombardier Global 7500 is a long‑range ultra‑large business jet built for intercontinental travel, with about 7,700 nautical miles of range and a typical passenger load around 8–19 in executive configurations. The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine high‑performance turboprop optimized for fast owner‑pilot operations, with roughly 1,400–1,700 nautical miles of range and seating commonly 4–6 passengers (up to about 6 plus pilot). The MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer is a light twin helicopter aimed at corporate, public safety, and utility roles, with a much shorter range around 300–400 nautical miles and capacity typically about 6–8 passengers. Overall, the Global 7500 leads by range and cabin volume, the King Air balances versatility and capacity, the TBM emphasizes efficiency and speed for smaller loads, and the 902 prioritizes vertical access over distance.
