Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Embraer Praetor 500 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Piaggio Avanti EVO are twin‑turboprops: they trade jet speed for efficiency and short-field flexibility. The King Air 360ER is typically used for utility and regional missions, generally carrying about 6–9 passengers with a long turboprop range (roughly 1,500–2,000 nm, mission dependent). The Avanti EVO is a faster, sleek turboprop, usually around 6–7 passengers, with roughly 1,400–1,700 nm range. The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop, best viewed as a high‑performance personal/owner-flown aircraft; it typically carries 4–6 passengers and runs about 1,500–1,700 nm. Among jets, the Embraer Phenom 300E is a light jet, commonly 6–9 passengers with about 2,000 nm range. The Embraer Praetor 500 steps into the super‑midsize class, typically 8–9 passengers and roughly 3,300 nm range. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a versatile light jet designed for rougher/shorter runways, usually 6–10 passengers with about 2,000 nm range. At the top end, the Dassault Falcon 7X is a long‑range large‑cabin trijet, typically 12–16 passengers with about 5,900–6,000 nm range.
