Daher Tbm 960 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Piper M600 Sls

The Daher TBM 960 and Piper M600 SLS are pressurized single‑engine turboprop airplanes aimed at fast, efficient owner‑operation, while the Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft optimized for higher cabin volume and speed, and the Agusta/Leonardo AW189 is a medium twin‑engine helicopter focused on vertical-lift missions. On range, the TBM 960 typically offers the longest still‑air range in this group (roughly around the 1,400–1,700 nm class depending on reserves and loading), with the Avanti EVO generally next (about 1,400–1,500 nm class). The M600 SLS is shorter‑legged (commonly around the 1,100–1,500 nm class depending on configuration and reserves). The AW189’s practical range is usually lower than the fixed‑wing aircraft (often several hundred nautical miles, roughly in the 400–500+ nm class depending on fuel, payload, and profile). For passenger capacity, the M600 SLS typically seats about 5–6, the TBM 960 commonly 4–6 plus a pilot, and the Avanti EVO usually 7–9 in executive layouts. The AW189 can carry the most people, commonly 16–19 passengers in transport configurations (fewer in VIP layouts).
