Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Piaggio Avanti EVO are pressurized twin‑turboprop airplanes, the Daher TBM 960 is a pressurized single‑engine turboprop airplane, and the Agusta/Leonardo AW189 is a twin‑engine helicopter. In range terms, the TBM 960 and Avanti EVO generally sit in the long‑range business‑turboprop class, typically around roughly 1,400–1,700 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves, while the King Air 360ER is optimized for extended endurance and mission flexibility, often quoted around the mid‑1,500‑nautical‑mile class with long‑loiter capability in some profiles. The AW189’s range is materially shorter than the fixed‑wing aircraft, commonly on the order of a few hundred nautical miles, varying strongly with cabin load, fuel tanks, and mission configuration. For passenger capacity, the TBM 960 is usually a 4–6 passenger executive cabin, the Avanti EVO commonly carries about 6–8, and the King Air 360ER typically accommodates about 6–9 in executive layouts. The AW189 can seat far more—often around the mid‑teens to high‑teens in transport configurations—though VIP layouts reduce that for comfort.
