The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop business/utility aircraft aimed at short to mid‑range regional missions, typically carrying about 6 to 9 passengers with a long‑range capability around 1,500 to 1,800 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves. The Dassault Falcon 8X is a long‑range, large‑cabin trijet designed for intercontinental travel, generally seating about 12 to 16 passengers and offering roughly 6,400 nautical miles of range. The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range, large‑cabin flagship business jet optimized for nonstop global city pairs, commonly configured for about 12 to 19 passengers with a range around 7,500 nautical miles.
