Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Gulfstream G700 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop in the high‑performance personal/business category, typically carrying about 4 to 6 passengers in a pressurized cabin, with range roughly around 1,700 nautical miles (depending on payload and reserves). The Embraer Legacy 650E is a long‑range large‑cabin business jet, usually configured for about 13 passengers, offering intercontinental capability in the neighborhood of 3,900 nautical miles. The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range, ultra‑large‑cabin business jet aimed at top‑end corporate/VIP missions; typical seating is often around 13 to 19 passengers, and range is approximately 7,500 nautical miles, enabling many nonstop city pairs across oceans. The Sikorsky S‑92 is a twin‑engine heavy helicopter used for offshore, utility, and VIP transport; it commonly seats around 12 to 19 passengers depending on layout, but its range is far shorter than the jets—generally on the order of 500 to 600 nautical miles with reserves, optimized for point‑to‑point vertical access rather than long cruise.
