Daher Tbm 960 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Pilatus Pc 24 vs Piper M600 Sls

The Daher TBM 960 and Piper M600 SLS are high-performance single‑engine turboprops aimed at owner‑pilots, typically carrying about four to six passengers in comfortable configurations, with range generally in the roughly 1,000–1,700 nautical mile class depending on reserves and loading; the TBM 960 is usually the longer‑range, faster option of the two. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a light twin‑engine business jet positioned above both turboprops, offering a larger cabin and commonly seating six to ten passengers, with a mid‑range mission profile around the roughly 1,800–2,000+ nautical mile class. The Gulfstream G700 sits at the top as an ultra‑long‑range, large‑cabin business jet designed for intercontinental flying, typically accommodating around 12 to 19 passengers (with higher-density layouts possible) and offering approximately 7,000+ nautical miles of range. In short, M600 SLS and TBM 960 cover efficient regional trips, the PC‑24 bridges into versatile light‑jet missions, and the G700 targets global long‑haul transport with maximum space and capability.
