Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Daher Tbm 910 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M600 Sls

By category, the Piper M600 SLS and Daher TBM 910/960 are single‑engine turboprop personal/business aircraft, with the TBM 960 the fastest and most performance‑oriented of that group. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is also single‑engine but sits in a larger utility/business category, optimized for cabin volume, cargo flexibility, and short/rough‑field capability. The Beechcraft King Air “Denali” (as a clean‑sheet single‑engine turboprop program) targets the high‑end single‑engine business segment, broadly between TBM‑style speed and PC‑12‑style cabin comfort, depending on final configuration. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑engine turboprop in a distinct high‑speed executive category, offering jet‑like cruise speeds with turboprop economics. For range, typical missions rank roughly as follows: TBM 910/960 and PC‑12 NGX are generally in the 1,500–1,800+ nm class, the M600 SLS is usually shorter around 1,000–1,400 nm, and the Avanti EVO is commonly around 1,400–1,700 nm. Denali’s expected range is typically positioned around the mid‑1,000‑nm class. Passenger capacity is broadly 4–6 for M600 and TBM, about 6–8 for Denali, about 6–9 for PC‑12, and about 7–9 for Avanti EVO depending on layout.
