Daher Tbm 960 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Daher TBM 960 is a high-performance single‑engine turboprop in the owner‑pilot category, best suited to efficient regional trips. It typically carries about 4–6 passengers in comfort (up to 6) and offers roughly 1,500–1,700 nautical miles of range depending on reserves, payload, and cruise settings. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑engine turboprop with a cabin closer to a light business aircraft; it generally accommodates about 6–7 passengers and provides around 1,300–1,500 nautical miles of range, emphasizing speed and cabin space for its class. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a light business jet designed for versatility and short/rough-field capability; it commonly seats about 6–8 passengers and delivers roughly 2,000 nautical miles of range. The Gulfstream G700 sits at the top end as an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin jet for intercontinental missions, typically configured for around 13–19 passengers, with a published range on the order of 7,500 nautical miles. Overall, the TBM and Avanti target efficient turboprop travel, the PC‑24 bridges into true jet missions, and the G700 is built for global nonstop reach and maximum cabin comfort.
