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

By category, the Beechcraft King Air 360ER, Pilatus PC-24, and Piaggio Avanti EVO are turboprops/light utility designs, while the Embraer Phenom 300E and Praetor 500 are light and midsize business jets respectively, and the Dassault Falcon 7X is a large-cabin, long-range trijet. On range, the Falcon 7X leads by a wide margin with intercontinental capability (roughly 5,900–6,000 nm). The Praetor 500 follows as a true transcontinental midsize jet (about 3,300 nm). The Phenom 300E is shorter-legged but still strong for a light jet (around 2,000–2,200 nm). The PC-24 sits in a similar general band for many missions (about 2,000 nm) with the added advantage of operating from shorter or less-prepared runways. The King Air 360ER is optimized for endurance among turboprops (about 1,800 nm), while the Avanti EVO typically offers mid-range turboprop reach (about 1,500–1,800 nm, depending on profile). For passenger capacity, the Falcon 7X typically carries 10–14, the Praetor 500 about 8–9, the Phenom 300E about 6–8, and the King Air 360ER, Avanti EVO, and PC-24 commonly seat around 6–9 depending on configuration.
