Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Cessna Citation Xls vs Daher Tbm 960

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Daher TBM 960 are pressurized turboprops, while the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a utility turboprop and the Cessna Citation XLS+ is a light-to-midsize business jet. In range, the King Air 360ER is generally the longest-legged of the turboprops at roughly 1,800 nautical miles, the TBM 960 follows at about 1,400 nautical miles, and the Grand Caravan EX is typically around 900–1,000 nautical miles depending on load and reserves. The Citation XLS+ usually offers about 2,100 nautical miles, giving it the longest range overall along with higher cruise speeds, but with higher fuel burn and runway needs than the turboprops.
