Bell 525 Relentless vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Sikorsky S 92

The Bell 525 Relentless and Sikorsky S-92 are helicopters, while the Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop airplane and the Dassault Falcon 8X is a long‑range tri‑jet business jet. In category terms, the 525 is a modern super‑medium helicopter aimed at fast, executive and utility missions; the S‑92 is a larger medium helicopter commonly used for offshore and high‑capacity passenger transport. The TBM 960 sits in the owner‑pilot/short‑field, high‑speed turboprop niche, and the Falcon 8X is a top‑tier intercontinental business jet optimized for long nonstop legs. Range separates them sharply: the Falcon 8X is the longest‑leg aircraft here at roughly 6,000+ nautical miles, enabling true intercontinental flights. The TBM 960 typically offers around 1,700–1,800 nautical miles. Helicopter ranges are much shorter; the Bell 525 is roughly in the 500–600 nautical mile class, and the S‑92 is broadly similar, often around 500+ nautical miles depending on configuration. Passenger capacity also differs: the TBM 960 generally carries about 4–6 passengers plus a pilot, the Falcon 8X typically seats 12–16, the Bell 525 commonly carries around 10–16, and the S‑92 is often configured for roughly 16–19 (or more in high‑density layouts).
