The Gulfstream G700 is a long‑range business jet in a different class from the three helicopters, optimized for intercontinental travel. It typically carries about 13–19 passengers (with high‑density layouts up to roughly 19) and offers an ultra‑long range of about 7,500 nautical miles, making it suited to nonstop global routes.

It generally seats around 16 passengers (depending on configuration) and has a range on the order of roughly 500–600 nautical miles. The Enstrom 480B is a light, piston helicopter primarily used for training, patrol, and light utility work. It typically carries 4–5 people and has a comparatively short range, roughly around 200–300 nautical miles. The MD Helicopters 902 Explorer is a light twin turbine helicopter used for EMS, law enforcement, and corporate roles. It generally seats about 7–8 and offers a mid‑short helicopter range, commonly around 300–400 nautical miles, depending on load and reserves.
