Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Sikorsky S 92

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and the Piaggio Avanti EVO are pressurized twin‑engine turboprop airplanes aimed at efficient regional business travel, while the MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer is a light twin‑engine helicopter suited to short-hop corporate, utility, and public-safety missions, and the Sikorsky S‑92 is a much larger medium twin helicopter designed for offshore, VIP, and heavy transport. On range, the King Air 360ER is typically the longest-legged of the group, roughly around 1,500 nautical miles depending on load and reserves. The Avanti EVO is also long-range for a turboprop, commonly around 1,400–1,700 nautical miles. Helicopters are shorter-range: the MD 902 is generally in the few-hundred‑nautical‑mile class (often roughly 300–400 nm), while the larger S‑92 can reach farther, commonly around 500–600+ nm depending on configuration. On passenger capacity, the MD 902 typically carries about 6–8 passengers, the King Air 360ER and Avanti EVO generally seat around 6–9 in executive layouts, and the S‑92 is the clear capacity leader, often configured for about 19 passengers (or fewer in VIP layouts).
