Bombardier Global 7500 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Sikorsky S 92
The Bombardier Global 7500 is a long‑range ultra‑long‑haul business jet, designed primarily for intercontinental missions. It offers the greatest range of the group at roughly 7,700 nautical miles and typically carries about 8 to 19 passengers depending on configuration, emphasizing speed, cabin volume, and endurance. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft aimed at efficient regional to medium‑range travel. Its range is far shorter than the Global 7500, generally around 1,500 to 1,800 nautical miles, with a typical passenger load of about 6 to 8. The Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a super‑medium twin helicopter optimized for offshore, SAR, and utility transport. Its range is typically on the order of 450 to 500 nautical miles (mission‑dependent), and it commonly seats around 16 to 19 passengers. The Sikorsky S‑92 is a larger heavy twin helicopter widely used for offshore and government roles. Its range is broadly similar or somewhat higher than the AW189 in many configurations (often around 500+ nautical miles), and typical seating is roughly 19 passengers, prioritizing payload and all‑weather capability over speed and range.
