Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Sikorsky S 92

The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop best categorized as a high‑performance personal/corporate aircraft. It trades cabin size for efficiency, typically carrying about 4–6 passengers in comfort and offering roughly 1,500–1,700 nautical miles of range depending on reserves and mission profile. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑turboprop in the light business category with a larger, stand‑up‑style cabin for its class; it commonly seats about 6–8 passengers and delivers about 1,400–1,800 nautical miles of range. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin long‑range business jet, designed for higher passenger loads and comfort, typically accommodating around 10–14 passengers with an approximate 3,900 nautical mile range. The Sikorsky S‑92 is a medium/heavy helicopter used for offshore transport, government, and utility missions; it generally carries about 12–19 passengers, but its range is much shorter than the fixed‑wing options, typically on the order of 400–600 nautical miles depending on payload and configuration.
