Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Piper M600 Sls

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Piper M600 SLS are turboprops, while the Dassault Falcon 8X and Embraer Legacy 650E are long‑range business jets. In range terms, the Falcon 8X is the clear leader, designed for true intercontinental missions at roughly 6,450 nautical miles, followed by the Legacy 650E at about 3,900 nautical miles. The King Air 360ER targets extended regional flying with roughly 1,800–2,000 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves, and the M600 SLS is a high‑performance personal turboprop typically around 1,400–1,500 nautical miles. Passenger capacity also separates the categories. The Falcon 8X commonly seats about 12–16 passengers, depending on layout. The Legacy 650E is usually configured for about 13 passengers. The King Air 360ER is often set up for around 8–9 passengers in executive trim (with higher maximum seating possible in other configurations). The M600 SLS is a six‑seat aircraft, typically flown as an owner‑pilot platform rather than a multi‑passenger corporate transport.
