Daher Tbm 960 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Robinson R66 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine, pressurized turboprop airplane designed for fast, efficient point‑to‑point travel. It offers the longest typical range of the group (roughly around 1,500–1,700 nautical miles depending on reserves and payload) and is best suited to carrying a small number of people in comfort, generally up to about six passengers (with a pilot seat also available). The Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a medium twin‑engine helicopter aimed at offshore and utility transport. It typically carries a larger group than the TBM, commonly configured for about 12–16 passengers, with a range often in the 400–500+ nautical mile class depending on tanks and payload. The Robinson R66 is a light single‑engine helicopter optimized for simplicity and lower operating cost. Capacity is limited (typically four passengers plus a pilot), and range is shorter, commonly around 300–350 nautical miles. The Sikorsky S‑92 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter built for offshore and SAR missions. It usually carries the most passengers (often about 16–19) with medium helicopter range, commonly around 500+ nautical miles depending on configuration.
