Bombardier Global 7500 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Piper M600 Sls
The Bombardier Global 7500 is a long‑range, large‑cabin business jet designed for intercontinental travel. It offers the greatest range of the group at roughly 7,700 nautical miles and the highest capacity, typically configured for about 14–19 passengers depending on layout. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑engine turboprop positioned as a high‑speed executive aircraft for regional missions. Its range is in the roughly 1,500–1,800 nautical mile class and it generally seats about 6–8 passengers in an executive configuration. The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine high‑performance turboprop aimed at fast owner‑pilot or small corporate use. It is optimized for 1,000–1,700 nautical mile trips (mission dependent) and usually carries 4–6 passengers plus a pilot, with seating for up to 6. The Piper M600 SLS is also a single‑engine turboprop, more comfort‑oriented and typically slower/less long‑legged than the TBM. Its range is about 1,000–1,400 nautical miles and it commonly carries 4–5 passengers plus a pilot, with up to 6 seats.
