The Bombardier Global 7500 and Embraer Legacy 650E are long-range business jets, while the MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer and Robinson R66 are civil helicopters aimed at shorter, flexible point-to-point missions. The Global 7500 sits at the top end of the group: it is an ultra-long-range jet typically capable of about 7,700 nautical miles and commonly configured for roughly 14–19 passengers, depending on layout. The Legacy 650E is a large-cabin long-range jet with a typical range around 3,900 nautical miles and seating usually in the 13–14 passenger class. By contrast, the MD 902 Explorer is a light twin-engine helicopter optimized for utility, corporate, and public-service roles, with a practical range on the order of a few hundred nautical miles (often around 300–400) and seating typically up to about 7–8 occupants including the pilot(s). The Robinson R66 is a light single-engine helicopter with similar short-range expectations (commonly around 300 nautical miles) and generally carries about 4 passengers plus a pilot.
