Daher Tbm 960 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Robinson R66

The Daher TBM 960 is a high-performance single‑engine turboprop in the owner‑flown category, optimized for efficiency and access to shorter runways. It typically carries about 4 to 6 passengers in a pressurized cabin and offers roughly 1,500–1,700 nautical miles of range depending on payload and reserves. The Dassault Falcon 8X is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin business jet aimed at intercontinental missions, commonly seating about 12 to 16 passengers and delivering approximately 6,450 nautical miles of range. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a long‑range large‑cabin business jet positioned below the 8X in global reach, usually configured for about 13 passengers with around 3,900 nautical miles of range. The Robinson R66 is a light single‑engine turbine helicopter for short‑range utility and point‑to‑point hops, typically carrying a pilot plus about 4 passengers and offering roughly 300 nautical miles of range (often less with reserves and real‑world loading).
