Bombardier Global 7500 vs Enstrom 480b vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Sikorsky S 92
The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet designed for intercontinental travel, offering the greatest range of the group (roughly 7,700 nautical miles) and typically seating about 14–19 passengers in a spacious long‑cabin configuration. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a high‑performance twin‑turboprop business aircraft aimed at efficient regional to transcontinental trips, with a substantially shorter range than the Global (about 1,700–1,900 nautical miles) and seating commonly around 7–9 passengers. The Enstrom 480B is a single‑engine piston helicopter suited to short‑range utility and personal/corporate missions, with the smallest passenger capacity (typically 4–5 seats) and a range on the order of a few hundred nautical miles (around 200–300). The Sikorsky S‑92 is a large twin‑engine helicopter used for offshore transport, SAR, and executive shuttle roles, carrying far more people than the Enstrom (often about 19 passengers, depending on layout) with a medium helicopter range typically around 500–600 nautical miles.
