The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft suited to short and medium regional missions; it typically carries about 6–9 passengers and offers roughly 1,500–1,800 nautical miles of range depending on configuration and reserves. The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet designed for intercontinental travel; it commonly accommodates around 8–19 passengers (with typical executive layouts nearer the low teens) and has a published range of about 7,700 nautical miles. The MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer is a light twin helicopter used for utility, law enforcement, EMS, and corporate transport; it generally seats 6–8 including crew and has a range on the order of about 300–350 nautical miles. The Sikorsky S‑92 is a large twin helicopter optimized for offshore, SAR, and VIP transport; it usually carries about 12–19 passengers depending on layout, with range typically around 500–600 nautical miles. Overall, the Global 7500 leads in range, the King Air balances runway flexibility with longer reach than helicopters, and the two rotorcraft trade speed and range for vertical access.
