Bombardier Global 7500 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra-long-range business jet designed primarily for intercontinental travel. It offers the longest reach of this group at roughly 7,700 nautical miles, and typically carries about 14–19 passengers depending on cabin layout, emphasizing high speed, altitude, and luxury over short-field flexibility. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large-cabin long-range business jet, generally suited to transoceanic or multi-stop missions rather than true ultra-long-range flights. Its range is about 3,900 nautical miles, with typical seating around 13–14 passengers, trading ultimate range for lower operating complexity and cost versus the Global 7500. The Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a super-medium helicopter optimized for offshore, SAR, and utility/VIP transport. Its practical range is typically around 450–500 nautical miles, carrying roughly 16–19 passengers in high-density configurations (fewer in VIP layouts), with strong hover and landing-site versatility. The Sikorsky S-92 is a heavy helicopter focused on offshore transport and SAR. Its range is typically about 500–540 nautical miles, with passenger capacity commonly around 19, prioritizing payload, all-weather capability, and overwater safety.
