Bombardier Global 7500 vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Robinson R66

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Dassault Falcon 8X are ultra-long-range business jets, built for intercontinental travel at high speed and altitude. The Global 7500 typically offers the longest range of the group at about 7,700 nautical miles and usually seats around 14–19 passengers depending on layout. The Falcon 8X is also ultra-long-range, with roughly 6,450 nautical miles of range and commonly accommodates about 12–16 passengers. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single-engine turboprop utility aircraft optimized for short and remote runways, cargo, and regional transport rather than long-haul travel. Its range is typically around 900–1,200 nautical miles depending on payload and conditions, and it generally carries up to about 9 passengers in commuter configuration (or more in certain high-density setups). The Robinson R66 is a light single-turbine helicopter suited to short-range point-to-point missions and access to confined landing areas. Its range is roughly 300 nautical miles, and it usually carries a pilot plus up to four passengers.
