Bombardier Global 7500 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Enstrom 480b

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Dassault Falcon 8X are ultra‑long‑range business jets intended for intercontinental travel, while the Daher TBM 960 is a high‑performance single‑engine turboprop for shorter business missions, and the Enstrom 480B is a piston helicopter suited to regional hops and utility flying. In range, the Global 7500 leads at roughly 7,700 nautical miles, enabling nonstop city pairs like New York–Hong Kong; the Falcon 8X is close behind around 6,450 nautical miles. The TBM 960 typically offers about 1,700 nautical miles, ideal for point‑to‑point trips without airline schedules but not true long‑haul. The Enstrom 480B is in a different class, generally a few hundred nautical miles (about 300–400) depending on reserves and operating profile. For passenger capacity, the Global 7500 commonly carries about 8–19 depending on layout, and the Falcon 8X about 12–16. The TBM 960 seats up to 6, usually flown with fewer for comfort and baggage. The Enstrom 480B typically carries a pilot plus up to 4 passengers.
