Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Gulfstream G700 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Embraer Legacy 650E and Gulfstream G700 are long-range business jets, while the Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 and Sikorsky S-92 are medium/large twin‑engine helicopters oriented to offshore, utility, and VIP transport. The Legacy 650E is a large-cabin jet suited to intercontinental missions but generally shorter-legged than the G700, offering roughly 3,900–4,000 nautical miles of range and typically seating about 13 passengers in executive layout. The Gulfstream G700 sits at the ultra-long-range top end, designed for true intercontinental city pairs with about 7,500 nautical miles of range and usually configured for around 13–19 passengers depending on cabin plan. The AW189 trades jet speed and range for vertical lift and access, with practical range roughly in the 450–500 nautical mile class and typically about 16–19 passengers in transport seating (often fewer in VIP). The Sikorsky S-92 is a larger helicopter with similar mission focus, generally around 500 nautical miles of range and commonly about 19 passengers in transport configuration, again varying with fit and reserves.
