Bombardier Global 7500 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Enstrom 480b

The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra-long-range large-cabin business jet designed for intercontinental missions, offering roughly 7,700 nautical miles of range and typically accommodating about 14–19 passengers depending on layout. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a long-range large-cabin jet suited to transcontinental and some intercontinental flying, with about 3,900 nautical miles of range and common seating around 13 passengers (often up to 14). The Daher TBM 960 is a high-performance single-engine turboprop, best for efficient regional to medium-distance trips, with roughly 1,700 nautical miles of range and typically seating 4–6 passengers. The Enstrom 480B is a single-engine piston helicopter focused on short-range utility and point-to-point access, with approximately 350–400 nautical miles of range and seating usually for 4–5 occupants. In short, the Global 7500 prioritizes maximum range and cabin space, the Legacy 650E offers a capable large-cabin step below it, the TBM 960 emphasizes speed and efficiency for smaller groups, and the 480B trades range and speed for vertical-lift flexibility.
