Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Enstrom 480b vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Sikorsky S 92

The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a large, long‑range business jet based on an airliner, suited to intercontinental travel. It offers the greatest range of the group (typically around 6,000+ nautical miles with auxiliary tanks and executive configuration) and the largest cabin volume; passenger capacity varies widely by layout, commonly from about 25–50 in VIP service, but it can be configured for far more in high‑density seating. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft optimized for speed and efficiency on regional to mid‑range missions, with roughly 1,500–1,800 nautical miles of range and typically seating around 7–9 passengers. The Sikorsky S‑92 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter designed for offshore, utility, and executive transport. It has much shorter range than the fixed‑wing aircraft (often a few hundred nautical miles, depending on payload and reserves) but can carry the most people in rotorcraft form, commonly about 12–19 passengers. The Enstrom 480B is a light single‑engine helicopter for short‑range operations, with the shortest range and the smallest capacity, typically around 4–5 seats.
