Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer

The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a VIP airliner category aircraft, essentially a converted narrow‑body jet, offering intercontinental range around 6,000–6,500 nautical miles with auxiliary tanks and typically carrying a small VIP group in a luxury layout (often 15–50), though it can be configured for far more. The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet, designed specifically for private travel, with about 7,700 nautical miles of range and a typical cabin capacity around 14–19 passengers. The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop (high‑performance personal/corporate aircraft) with roughly 1,700–1,800 nautical miles of range and usually 4–6 passengers depending on seating and fuel. The MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer is a light twin helicopter, optimized for short‑range missions, with roughly 300–350 nautical miles of range and typically 6–8 passengers. Overall, BBJ MAX 9 and Global 7500 target long‑haul executive travel, while the TBM 960 serves regional point‑to‑point trips, and the 902 specializes in vertical access and short hops.
