Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Enstrom 480b vs Gulfstream G700

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX are utility-focused turboprops, but the 360ER targets faster, higher-altitude business and special-mission flying with a longer-range profile of roughly 2,000–2,500 nautical miles and typically 6–9 passengers, while the Grand Caravan EX emphasizes rugged, high-payload regional work with about 900–1,200 nautical miles of range and commonly 9–14 passengers. The Enstrom 480B is a single-turbine helicopter suited to short-range transport, training, and utility roles; it carries about 4–5 occupants and has a range on the order of 300–400 nautical miles. At the opposite end, the Gulfstream G700 is an ultra-long-range business jet designed for intercontinental travel, offering roughly 7,000+ nautical miles of range and usually configured for about 12–19 passengers in a high-comfort cabin. Overall, the Caravan prioritizes capacity and simplicity, the King Air balances efficiency with speed and range, the Enstrom serves short-hop vertical-lift missions, and the G700 maximizes range, speed, and cabin luxury.
