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

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Embraer Legacy 650E are long-range business jets, while the Sikorsky S‑92 is a medium-lift twin‑engine helicopter typically used for offshore, utility, and VIP transport. In range, the Global 7500 leads by a wide margin, offering roughly 7,700 nautical miles, enabling nonstop intercontinental missions. The Legacy 650E is also a long-range jet but shorter-legged, at about 3,900 nautical miles, making it well suited to transcontinental and some transatlantic routes depending on payload and conditions. The S‑92’s range is much lower than either jet, around 500–600 nautical miles depending on configuration and reserves, but it can access locations without runways and operate point-to-point at low altitude. For passenger capacity, the Global 7500 typically seats around 14–19 depending on layout, the Legacy 650E generally accommodates about 13–14, and the S‑92 commonly carries around 12–19 passengers in transport/VIP configurations, with exact counts varying by interior and mission equipment.
