Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Enstrom 480b vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop in the high‑performance personal/business category. It typically carries about 4 to 6 passengers (plus a pilot) and is optimized for efficient point‑to‑point trips, with roughly 1,500 to 1,700 nautical miles of range depending on load and conditions. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑engine turboprop positioned as a fast, pressurized business aircraft, generally accommodating about 6 to 8 passengers with a range around 1,500 to 1,800 nautical miles. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin business jet designed for higher passenger loads and long missions, commonly configured for about 13 passengers with intercontinental capability of roughly 3,900 to 4,000 nautical miles. The Enstrom 480B is a single‑engine piston helicopter focused on utility/training and short‑range transport; it typically seats about 4 to 5 people including the pilot and has a much shorter range, on the order of a few hundred nautical miles (often around 250 to 350) depending on reserves and operating profile.
