Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Gulfstream G700 vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Embraer Legacy 650E and Piaggio Avanti EVO are both fixed‑wing business aircraft, while the Gulfstream G700 is a larger, ultra‑long‑range business jet, and the MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer is a twin‑engine helicopter suited to short‑range missions and vertical access. In range, the G700 leads by a wide margin at roughly 7,500+ nautical miles, enabling true intercontinental nonstop trips. The Legacy 650E is a long‑range large‑cabin jet at about 3,900–4,000 nautical miles, typically covering transcontinental routes comfortably. The Avanti EVO is a turboprop business aircraft with mid‑to‑long range around 1,700–1,800 nautical miles, optimized for efficiency and shorter runways rather than ocean‑spanning legs. The 902 Explorer’s range is far shorter, roughly in the 300–400 nautical mile class depending on load and reserves. For passenger capacity, the G700 typically seats about 13–19, the Legacy 650E about 13 (often up to the mid‑teens), the Avanti EVO commonly 7–9, and the 902 Explorer usually carries around 6–8.
