Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Enstrom 480b vs Gulfstream G700 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 and Gulfstream G700 are long-range business jets, while the Enstrom 480B and Sikorsky S-92 are helicopters, with the S-92 oriented to offshore/VIP transport and the 480B aimed at light utility/private flying. In range, the BBJ MAX 9 typically leads among these, offering true intercontinental capability (roughly 6,000+ nautical miles depending on configuration), with the G700 also intercontinental at about 7,000+ nautical miles. Helicopter ranges are far shorter: an Enstrom 480B is generally in the few-hundred–nautical-mile class (often around 300–400 nm), while an S-92 is longer-legged for a helicopter, commonly around 500–600 nm depending on tanks and payload. Passenger capacity also separates them: a BBJ MAX 9 can be outfitted for high-end VIP layouts often in the teens to a few dozen passengers, but as an airliner derivative can seat well over 150 in dense configurations; the G700 typically carries around 12–19 in executive layouts; the S-92 commonly seats about 19; and the Enstrom 480B carries about 4–5 including the pilot.
