Bombardier Global 7500 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Enstrom 480b vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range, large‑cabin business jet designed for intercontinental missions. It offers the greatest range of this group at roughly 7,700 nautical miles and typically carries about 14–19 passengers depending on cabin layout. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a light jet optimized for versatility, including operation from shorter or semi‑prepared runways. Its range is far shorter than the Global 7500, generally around 2,000 nautical miles (varying with load), and it typically seats about 6–10 passengers. The Daher TBM 960 is a high‑performance single‑engine turboprop, usually used for fast point‑to‑point regional trips. It has a range in the neighborhood of about 1,400 nautical miles and generally carries 4–6 passengers (up to about 6 plus a pilot, depending on configuration). The Enstrom 480B is a piston helicopter focused on utility and short‑hop missions rather than long cross‑country travel. Its range is on the order of a few hundred nautical miles and it typically carries about 4–5 occupants.
