Bombardier Global 7500 vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Embraer Legacy 650E are long‑range business jets, but they serve different tiers. The Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin jet, typically offering about 7,700 nautical miles of range and usually configured for roughly 14–19 passengers. The Legacy 650E is a heavy business jet with a shorter intercontinental reach, around 3,900 nautical miles, and commonly carries about 13–14 passengers in executive seating. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single‑engine turboprop utility aircraft rather than a business jet. Its range is much shorter, typically around 900 nautical miles, and it generally seats up to 9 passengers in commuter/executive configurations (or more in high‑density utility layouts, depending on certification and interior). The MD Helicopters 902 Explorer is a twin‑engine helicopter used for roles like law enforcement, EMS, and corporate shuttle. It has the shortest range of the group, roughly 300–400 nautical miles, and typically accommodates about 6–8 passengers depending on mission equipment and seating.
