Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Enstrom 480b vs Gulfstream G700 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

By category, the Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Piaggio Avanti EVO are twin‑turboprop airplanes, the Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin business jet, and the Enstrom 480B is a light single‑engine turbine helicopter. In range, the G700 is in a different class, capable of roughly 7,500 nautical miles, supporting true intercontinental missions. The King Air 360ER is oriented toward long turboprop legs and special-mission profiles, typically around 1,800–2,000+ nautical miles depending on load and reserves. The Avanti EVO generally sits a bit shorter, around 1,700–1,800 nautical miles, but is known for high cruise speed for a turboprop. The Enstrom 480B is comparatively short‑range, roughly a few hundred nautical miles (around 400+ nm typical), reflecting helicopter fuel and speed limits. For passenger capacity, the G700 commonly accommodates about 13–19 passengers (with maximums higher depending on configuration), the King Air 360ER and Avanti EVO are usually configured for about 6–9 passengers, and the 480B typically carries about 4–5 including the pilot.
