Daher Tbm 960 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Robinson R66 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop airplane optimized for fast personal and business travel. It typically carries 4–6 passengers in a pressurized cabin (up to about 6 seats plus pilot) and offers long legs for its class, roughly around 1,000–1,700 nautical miles depending on reserves, speed, and load. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑engine turboprop airplane aimed at executive transport with a larger, quieter cabin. It generally seats about 6–7 passengers (with crew up front) and has a similar or somewhat longer range than many singles, commonly around 1,400–1,800 nautical miles. The Robinson R66 is a light single‑turbine helicopter for short‑range utility and private missions. It seats 4 passengers plus a pilot and has a much shorter range, typically on the order of 300–350 nautical miles. The Sikorsky S‑92 is a large twin‑engine medium helicopter used for offshore, SAR, and VIP transport. Passenger capacity is far higher, often around 19 in typical configurations, with range commonly in the 500–600+ nautical mile class depending on tanks and payload.
