Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Embraer Legacy 650 E

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX are utility turboprops, while the Embraer Legacy 650E and Dassault Falcon 8X are long-range business jets in a much higher performance class. The Grand Caravan EX typically carries the most people in commuter-style seating (often around 9–14 depending on configuration) but has the shortest range, roughly in the 900–1,200 nautical mile class. The King Air 360ER is a pressurized twin‑turboprop aimed at executive and special-mission use, usually seating about 6–9 passengers, with substantially more reach than the Caravan at roughly 1,500–1,800+ nautical miles depending on load and conditions. Moving to jets, the Legacy 650E is a large-cabin trijet-class equivalent in mission, commonly arranged for about 13 passengers and offering intercontinental-capable range around 3,900–4,100 nautical miles. The Falcon 8X sits at the top here as an ultra-long-range large-cabin jet, typically seating about 12–16, with the longest range of the group at roughly 6,400+ nautical miles.
