Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Enstrom 480b vs Gulfstream G700

The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single‑engine turboprop utility aircraft best suited to short‑haul regional missions; it typically carries about 9–14 passengers depending on configuration and has a range around 900–1,200 nautical miles. The Enstrom 480B is a single‑engine piston helicopter focused on short, flexible point‑to‑point travel; it usually seats about 4–5 occupants and has a range roughly in the 250–350 nautical mile class. Moving into business jets, the Embraer Legacy 650E is a long‑range large‑cabin jet designed for intercity and some transoceanic missions; it commonly seats around 13–14 passengers (with higher-density layouts possible) and offers range on the order of 3,900–4,000 nautical miles. The Gulfstream G700 sits at the top end as an ultra‑long‑range, large‑cabin business jet intended for nonstop global routes; it typically accommodates about 13–19 passengers and provides roughly 7,000+ nautical miles of range, making it the clear leader in both cabin capability and distance.
