Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Cirrus Vision Jet G2 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Piper M500

The Beechcraft Denali and Piper M500 are single‑engine turboprops aimed at efficient owner‑pilot travel, while the Daher TBM 960 is a higher‑performance single‑engine turboprop and the Cirrus Vision Jet G2 is a single‑engine very light jet. In range terms, the TBM 960 generally leads this group at roughly 1,700–1,800 nm depending on conditions, the Denali is positioned around the mid‑1,500 nm class, the M500 is typically around 1,000–1,200 nm, and the Vision Jet G2 is usually around 1,200 nm. For passenger capacity, the Denali is designed as a larger‑cabin turboprop typically configured for about 6–9 occupants including the pilot, the TBM 960 commonly seats 5–6 plus a pilot (often marketed as up to 6–7 total depending on seating choices), the M500 is generally a 5–6 seat aircraft including the pilot, and the Vision Jet G2 is typically configured for 4–5 passengers plus a pilot, with an option for small additional seating but with practical limits set by payload and mission length.
