Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Enstrom 480b vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Piper M600 Sls

The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single‑engine turboprop utility aircraft optimized for short, rugged strips and flexible missions; it typically offers the longest practical legs among these in real-world cargo/commuter use (roughly 900–1,200 nm depending on load) and the highest capacity, commonly seating about 9–14 passengers depending on configuration. The Enstrom 480B is a piston helicopter in the light rotorcraft category, built for short-range operations, training, patrol, or point-to-point access; its range is much shorter (on the order of a few hundred nautical miles), and passenger capacity is generally around 4–5 including the pilot. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑engine turboprop executive aircraft focused on speed and efficiency; it typically ranges around 1,500–1,800 nm and carries about 7–9 passengers in a cabin-oriented layout. The Piper M600 SLS is a pressurized single‑engine turboprop personal/business aircraft; it generally ranges around 1,400–1,600 nm and seats about 5–6 passengers plus a pilot, emphasizing owner-operation and avionics/automation.
