Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Piper M600 Sls vs Sikorsky S 92

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER, Daher TBM 960, and Piper M600 SLS are pressurized fixed‑wing turboprops, while the Sikorsky S‑92 is a twin‑engine medium helicopter optimized for offshore and utility missions. For range, the King Air 360ER generally leads among the turboprops with long‑range capability suited to regional and some transcontinental missions, the TBM 960 follows with strong point‑to‑point range for a single‑engine turboprop, and the M600 SLS offers solid but typically shorter range than the TBM. The S‑92’s range is usually far shorter than these airplanes, trading cruise efficiency for vertical lift and mission flexibility. On passenger capacity, the King Air 360ER typically carries the most in the fixed‑wing group, commonly configured around six to nine seats depending on interior and payload. The TBM 960 is usually set up for four to six passengers plus a pilot, and the M600 SLS is similar, generally five to six seats total. The S‑92 carries the most overall, commonly accommodating around 12 to 19 passengers depending on configuration.
