Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Robinson R66

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft, typically carrying about 6–9 passengers, with long turboprop legs around 1,500–1,800 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single‑engine utility turboprop optimized for cargo and short strips; it commonly seats 9–14 passengers, but its range is more modest, roughly 900–1,200 nautical miles. The Dassault Falcon 8X is a long‑range, large‑cabin tri‑jet built for intercontinental missions; it usually carries about 8–14 passengers and can reach roughly 6,000+ nautical miles, far exceeding the turboprops. The Robinson R66 is a light single‑engine helicopter, generally configured for 4 passengers plus a pilot (or fewer depending on mission), with much shorter range—about 300–350 nautical miles—trading speed and distance for vertical access and landing flexibility.
