Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Gulfstream G700 vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a pressurized twin‑turboprop built for efficient regional missions; it typically carries about 6–9 passengers and offers long turboprop endurance, roughly around 1,500–2,000 nautical miles depending on load and conditions. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single‑engine utility turboprop optimized for short, rugged strips and cargo flexibility; it commonly seats up to about 9 passengers and has a shorter range, generally around 900–1,200 nautical miles. The Gulfstream G700 sits in a different category entirely as an ultra‑long‑range business jet designed for high speed, high altitude comfort; it can be configured for roughly 10–19 passengers and delivers intercontinental range on the order of about 7,000+ nautical miles. The MD Helicopters 902 Explorer is a light twin‑engine helicopter focused on vertical access, law enforcement, EMS, and utility work; it typically carries around 6–8 occupants total and has a much shorter range, commonly a few hundred nautical miles (roughly 300–400), trading distance for hover and point‑to‑point access without runways.
