Dassault Falcon 8x vs Enstrom 480b vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Dassault Falcon 8X and Pilatus PC-24 are fixed‑wing business jets, while the Enstrom 480B and Agusta/Leonardo AW189 are helicopters. For range, the Falcon 8X is the long‑haul leader, typically capable of roughly 6,000+ nautical miles, suited to intercontinental missions. The PC‑24 is a super‑versatile “light jet” with a shorter but still substantial range around 2,000 nautical miles class, often chosen for regional legs and access to shorter or semi‑prepared runways. The AW189 is a medium helicopter optimized for offshore and utility work; its range is generally a few hundred nautical miles (often around 450–500 nm depending on fit), far below the jets but strong for rotary operations. The Enstrom 480B is a light single‑engine helicopter with the shortest reach, commonly around 300+ nautical miles. Passenger capacity follows a similar pattern: the Falcon 8X typically accommodates about 12–16 passengers, the PC‑24 about 6–10, the AW189 roughly 16–19 in high‑density configurations (often fewer in VIP), and the Enstrom 480B typically about 4 plus a pilot.
