Bombardier Global 7500 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Enstrom 480b vs Leonardo Aw189

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Embraer Legacy 650E are long-range business jets, while the Enstrom 480B and Leonardo AW189 are helicopters (light single-engine piston versus super‑medium twin‑engine, respectively). In range, the Global 7500 leads by a wide margin at roughly 7,700 nautical miles, enabling ultra‑long‑haul intercontinental missions. The Legacy 650E is also intercontinental but notably shorter‑legged at about 3,900 nautical miles. Helicopter range is far lower: the AW189 is typically on the order of 450–500 nautical miles depending on payload and tanks, while the Enstrom 480B is shorter still, roughly 200–300 nautical miles. Passenger capacity follows a similar hierarchy: the Global 7500 is commonly configured for about 14–19 passengers, the Legacy 650E typically seats around 13 (with layouts often in the 12–14 range). The AW189 can carry a much larger cabin load for offshore/utility work, commonly up to about 16–19 passengers. The Enstrom 480B is a small utility helicopter, generally accommodating about 4–5 people including the pilot.
