Cessna Citation Cj4 vs Cessna Citation Longitude vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Diamond Aircraft Da42 Vi vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Pilatus Pc 24 vs Piper M500

The Cessna Citation CJ4 and Embraer Phenom 300E are light jets aimed at fast, efficient business travel, typically seating about 6–9 passengers with ranges roughly in the 2,000–2,200 nautical mile class. The Cessna Citation Longitude steps up to the super‑midsize category, offering a larger cabin for around 8–12 passengers and substantially more range, roughly about 3,000+ nautical miles. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a “light jet” in speed and mission but stands out as a ruggedized jet with exceptional short/rough‑field capability, generally carrying about 6–10 with range around the 2,000+ nautical mile class. The Daher TBM 960 is a high‑performance single‑engine turboprop, typically 4–6 passengers, with long legs for its class (often around 1,500+ nautical miles). The Piper M500 is a more modest single‑engine turboprop, usually 4–5 passengers, with shorter range than the TBM. The Diamond DA42 VI is a twin‑piston aircraft focused on economy and training/utility, generally 3–4 passengers with range typically around 1,000+ nautical miles.
