Daher Tbm 960 vs Epic Aircraft E1000 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

The Daher TBM 960, Epic Aircraft E1000, and Pilatus PC-12 NGX are all single-engine turboprops, but they sit in slightly different categories. The TBM 960 is best viewed as a high-speed, owner-flown personal/business aircraft optimized for efficient point-to-point travel. The Epic E1000 is also in the high-performance personal/business turboprop category, generally emphasizing a larger cabin and strong cruise performance compared with typical “fast singles.” The PC-12 NGX is a larger, more utility-oriented single-engine turboprop, commonly used for corporate transport, charter, and special missions, with a cabin and payload flexibility closer to a light twin’s mission set. On range, all three are capable of roughly 1,000+ nautical miles depending on power settings, winds, payload, and reserves. In broad terms, the TBM 960 and PC-12 NGX are often cited around the mid‑1,000‑nm class, while the E1000 is typically quoted in a similar neighborhood, sometimes higher in marketing figures, with real-world results driven heavily by load and altitude. On passenger capacity, TBM 960 and E1000 are typically arranged for about 4 to 6 passengers plus a pilot, while the PC-12 NGX commonly carries 6 to 9 passengers plus one or two pilots, depending on interior and regulatory configuration.
