Daher Tbm 960 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piper M600 Sls

The Daher TBM 960 and Piper M600 SLS are single‑engine turboprop airplanes aimed at owner‑pilots, while the Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin business jet, and the Agusta/Leonardo AW189 is a medium twin‑engine helicopter optimized for offshore and utility missions. In range terms, the G700 sits far above the others, capable of true intercontinental flights (roughly around 7,000+ nautical miles depending on payload and conditions). The TBM 960 and M600 SLS are in a similar general band for point‑to‑point regional travel, typically around the 1,000–1,700 nautical mile class depending on reserves, winds, and loading, with the TBM usually faster and often longer‑legged in typical cruise profiles. The AW189’s range is substantially shorter than the fixed‑wing aircraft, generally in the few‑hundred‑nautical‑mile range typical of helicopters, though it offers vertical lift and direct access where runways are unavailable. For passenger capacity, the M600 SLS and TBM 960 commonly seat about 5–6 passengers plus a pilot, the G700 typically carries around 12–19 passengers in a spacious cabin, and the AW189 usually seats about 16–19 passengers depending on configuration.
