Dassault Falcon 8x vs Enstrom 480b vs Gulfstream G700 vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer

The Dassault Falcon 8X and Gulfstream G700 are long‑range business jets, while the Enstrom 480B and MD Helicopters 902 Explorer are light utility helicopters. In range, the G700 leads at roughly 7,500 nautical miles, enabling ultra‑long intercontinental missions; the Falcon 8X is close behind at about 6,450 nautical miles, also suited to global nonstop city pairs. The helicopters are far shorter‑legged: the Enstrom 480B is typically in the ~350–400 nautical mile class depending on reserves and configuration, and the MD 902 Explorer is commonly around ~300 nautical miles, varying with payload and fuel. Passenger capacity follows the same split. The G700 is usually configured for about 13–19 passengers in a high‑end cabin, while the Falcon 8X typically seats about 12–16. The Enstrom 480B is generally a 5‑seat helicopter including the pilot, and the MD 902 Explorer typically carries 7–8 occupants including the pilot(s), making it the more people‑capable of the two helicopters but still far below the jets.
