Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Enstrom 480b vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single‑engine turboprop utility aircraft, typically configured for about 9–14 passengers depending on interior and mission. It offers practical regional range on the order of roughly 900–1,200 nautical miles, emphasizing rugged, short-field operations and flexible cargo/passenger layouts. The Enstrom 480B is a single‑engine turbine helicopter, generally seating 4–5 occupants (including the pilot). Its range is much shorter than the fixed‑wing aircraft here, commonly around 300–400 nautical miles, and it prioritizes point‑to‑point access where runways aren’t available. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft, usually carrying about 7–9 passengers in an executive cabin. Its range is typically around 1,700–2,000 nautical miles, aimed at fast, efficient business travel between medium-length runways. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a twin‑engine light business jet, commonly configured for about 6–10 passengers. It generally offers about 2,000 nautical miles of range and stands out for combining jet speed with the ability to operate from shorter and semi‑prepared runways compared with many peers.
