Bombardier Global 7500 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 are ultra-long-range business jets aimed at intercontinental travel. Both typically carry around 12–16 passengers in high-comfort layouts (and more at maximum seating), but the Global 7500 generally offers about 7,700 nautical miles of range, while the G700 is typically around 7,500 nautical miles, making either suitable for many nonstop city pairs worldwide. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light-to-midsize “super versatile” business jet designed for shorter missions and rougher or shorter runways than most jets in its class. It commonly seats about 6–10 passengers and has a range on the order of roughly 2,000 nautical miles, depending on load and conditions. The MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer is a twin-engine light helicopter, suited to short-range point-to-point missions, air medical, law enforcement, and utility roles. It typically carries about 1–7 passengers (depending on configuration) and has a range of only a few hundred nautical miles, far below the jets.
