Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Daher Tbm 960
The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a large, airline-derived VIP jet in the airliner/VIP-liner category, offering intercontinental range on the order of roughly 6,000–6,500 nautical miles and typically configured for about 25–50 passengers in executive layouts (though it can be arranged for more). The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra-long-range business jet, also intercontinental, with about 7,700 nautical miles of range and commonly seats around 8–19 passengers in typical executive configurations. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single-engine turboprop utility aircraft aimed at short-haul regional, cargo, and rugged-field operations; it has a much shorter range (roughly 900–1,200 nautical miles depending on load) and typically carries 9–14 passengers. The Daher TBM 960 is a high-performance single-engine turboprop in the personal/corporate category, with range around 1,400–1,700 nautical miles and typically carries 4–6 passengers (up to about 6–7 seats installed, depending on configuration).
