Bombardier Global 7500 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Piaggio Avanti Evo
The Bombardier Global 7500 is a large ultra‑long‑range business jet, built for intercontinental missions. It offers the greatest range of the group at roughly 7,700 nautical miles and typically carries about 14–19 passengers depending on configuration, emphasizing multiple living zones and long endurance. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large-cabin long‑range jet in the “heavy” class, suited to transoceanic and cross‑continent flying but shorter-legged than the Global. Its range is about 3,900 nautical miles and it commonly seats around 13 passengers, prioritizing a spacious cabin and baggage capacity. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑turboprop aircraft positioned as a fast, efficient “light” business option rather than a true jet. It generally ranges around 1,700–1,800 nautical miles and typically carries about 6–7 passengers. The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine high‑performance turboprop, best viewed as an owner‑pilot or small executive aircraft. It has roughly 1,400–1,700 nautical miles of range and usually seats 4–6 passengers.
