Dassault Falcon 8x vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer vs Pilatus Pc 24 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Dassault Falcon 8X and Pilatus PC-24 are fixed‑wing business jets, while the MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer and Sikorsky S‑92 are helicopters aimed at rotorcraft missions. In range, the Falcon 8X is the long‑haul leader, capable of roughly 6,450 nautical miles, suitable for intercontinental trips. The PC‑24 is a “super versatile” light jet with a shorter but still substantial range of about 2,000 nautical miles, oriented toward regional and flexible airport access rather than nonstop ocean crossings. Helicopters trade range for vertical lift: the MD 902 typically offers a few hundred nautical miles (around 300 nm class), optimized for urban, EMS, law enforcement, and utility roles, while the larger S‑92 reaches farther (roughly 500+ nm depending on fit) and is commonly used for offshore transport and search and rescue. For passenger capacity, the Falcon 8X usually seats about 12–16, the PC‑24 around 6–10, the MD 902 about 7–8, and the S‑92 is the high‑capacity option at roughly 19 passengers.
