Bombardier Global 7500 vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Dassault Falcon 8X are long‑range intercontinental business jets, but the Global 7500 is the endurance leader at roughly 7,700 nautical miles, typically carrying about 14–19 passengers in a large-cabin layout. The Falcon 8X is also a large-cabin, long-range trijet at about 6,450 nautical miles, usually configured for around 12–16 passengers, with strong runway performance and flexibility. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX sits in a different category: a single‑engine turboprop utility aircraft optimized for short/rough-field work and regional flying. Its range is far shorter (roughly 900–1,200 nautical miles depending on load and reserves) and it commonly seats 9–14 passengers in commuter configurations. The MD Helicopters 902 Explorer is a light twin‑engine helicopter, suited to short‑hop missions such as law enforcement, EMS support, and corporate shuttling. Its range is typically only a few hundred nautical miles (around 300–400), and passenger capacity is generally about 5–7 including the pilot, depending on interior and mission equipment.
