The Embraer Legacy 650E and Gulfstream G700 are long-range business jets, while the Enstrom 480B and Robinson R66 are turbine helicopters aimed at shorter missions and lower cruise speeds. The Gulfstream G700 sits at the top end of the group as an ultra-long-range large-cabin jet, typically offering roughly 7,500 nautical miles of range and usually carrying about 10 to 19 passengers depending on layout. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large-cabin, long-range jet but a step down in size and reach, at about 3,900 nautical miles and commonly configured for around 13 passengers. The Enstrom 480B is a light single-turbine helicopter intended for utility and transport, with range generally around 350 to 400 nautical miles and seating typically up to five. The Robinson R66 is also a light single-turbine helicopter, usually seating five, with range commonly around 300 to 350 nautical miles, making it well suited for short regional hops and point-to-point access where runways are not required.
