Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer vs Piper M600 Sls

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft suited to short and mid‑range missions, typically carrying about 6–9 passengers with a range on the order of roughly 1,500–2,000 nautical miles depending on load and reserves. The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin business jet, generally configured for around 12–19 passengers (and capable of more in high‑density layouts) with intercontinental range around 7,000+ nautical miles. The MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer is a light twin helicopter optimized for vertical access and short‑range point‑to‑point work, usually seating 6–7 passengers plus one or two pilots, with typical range in the few‑hundred‑nautical‑mile class (about 300–400 nm). The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop personal/business aircraft, commonly carrying about 4–6 passengers, with range generally around 1,400–1,600 nautical miles. Overall, the G700 leads on range and cabin size, the King Air and M600 balance efficiency with runway flexibility, and the 902 trades range for helicopter access.
