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

The Bombardier Global 7500 is a long‑range, large‑cabin business jet designed for intercontinental travel. It typically carries about 14–19 passengers and can fly roughly 7,700 nautical miles, making it suited to nonstop city pairs across oceans with high speed and comfort. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single‑engine turboprop utility aircraft optimized for short to medium regional missions, rugged strips, and cargo or mixed passenger use. It generally seats up to 9 passengers in typical commuter configuration (often operated with fewer for comfort) and has a range on the order of about 900–1,200 nautical miles depending on load and conditions. The MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer is a light twin‑engine helicopter aimed at short‑haul vertical‑lift missions such as air medical, law enforcement, and corporate shuttle. Passenger capacity is usually around 7–8 including crew, and practical range is roughly 300–400 nautical miles, trading speed and distance for point‑to‑point access without runways.
