Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Enstrom 480b vs Robinson R66

The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop airplane in the high‑performance personal/business category. It typically carries about 4–6 passengers (depending on configuration) and offers long range for its class, roughly on the order of 1,500–1,700 nautical miles. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin business jet designed for corporate and charter missions. It carries far more people than the TBM—commonly 10–14 passengers—and delivers true intercity/intercontinental capability with a range around 3,900–4,000 nautical miles. The Enstrom 480B is a single‑engine turbine helicopter suited to utility, training, and light corporate roles. It generally seats up to 4–5 occupants and has a much shorter range than the fixed‑wing aircraft, typically a few hundred nautical miles. The Robinson R66 is also a single‑engine turbine helicopter, usually configured for 4 passengers plus a pilot (up to 5 seats total). Its range is broadly comparable to, and often somewhat greater than, the Enstrom 480B depending on tanks and payload, but still well below the TBM and far below the Legacy 650E.
