Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Gulfstream G700 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Embraer Legacy 650E and Gulfstream G700 are long‑range business jets, while the Sikorsky S‑92 is a medium/long‑range twin‑engine helicopter typically used for offshore transport, VIP, and utility missions where vertical lift matters more than speed and altitude. In range, the G700 leads by a wide margin at roughly 7,500 nautical miles, enabling ultra‑long intercontinental flights; the Legacy 650E is a true long‑range jet but shorter‑legged at about 3,900 nautical miles, suited to transcontinental missions and many intercontinental city pairs with stops as needed. The S‑92’s range is far lower, roughly 500 nautical miles depending on configuration and reserves, reflecting rotorcraft efficiency limits but offering access to helipads and remote sites. For passenger capacity, the G700 typically carries around 13–19 in high‑end layouts, the Legacy 650E commonly seats about 13 (with a maximum around 19 depending on layout), and the S‑92 can carry about 19 passengers in transport seating (fewer in VIP configurations).
