The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop airplane typically used for short‑to‑midrange regional missions; it carries about 6–9 passengers in executive layouts and offers long endurance for its class (roughly 1,500–1,800 nm, depending on payload and conditions). The Embraer Legacy 650E is a long‑range large‑cabin business jet, generally configured for about 13 passengers, and is designed for intercontinental city pairs with a range around 3,900 nm. The Agusta/Leonardo AW189 is a medium twin helicopter aimed at offshore, SAR, and utility/VIP roles; capacity varies widely, but it commonly carries around 12–16 passengers and has a typical range on the order of 400–500 nm (mission‑dependent). The Robinson R66 is a light single‑engine helicopter suited to short, economical flights; it usually carries 4 passengers plus a pilot and has a typical range around 300–350 nm. Overall, the Legacy 650E leads on range and cabin size, the King Air 360ER balances runway flexibility with strong range, and the AW189/R66 trade speed and range for vertical access.
