Daher Tbm 960 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine pressurized turboprop airplane intended for fast point‑to‑point travel. It typically carries one pilot plus up to five passengers in executive seating (up to about six passengers depending on configuration), and offers long range for its class at roughly 1,400–1,700 nautical miles with reserves, favoring speed and efficiency from paved runways. The Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a super‑medium twin‑engine helicopter designed for offshore, SAR, and utility missions. It generally seats around 16–19 passengers in a high‑density layout (fewer in VIP/mission configurations) and has a typical range on the order of about 450–500 nautical miles, trading cruise speed and range for vertical lift and access to remote sites. The Sikorsky S‑92 is a larger heavy twin‑engine helicopter widely used offshore and for government/VIP transport. It commonly carries about 19 passengers in offshore seating (variable by interior and mission equipment) with a broadly similar typical range of roughly 450–550 nautical miles, emphasizing payload, cabin volume, and all‑weather rotorcraft capability over fixed‑wing efficiency.
