Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Sikorsky S 92

The Embraer Legacy 650E and Piaggio Avanti EVO are fixed‑wing business aircraft, while the MD Helicopters 902 Explorer and Sikorsky S‑92 are helicopters (the 902 is a light twin; the S‑92 is a large, medium‑lift twin). For range, the Legacy 650E is the longest‑legged, typically around 3,900 nautical miles, suited to true long‑range business missions. The Avanti EVO is shorter‑range but still cross‑country capable at roughly 1,700–1,800 nautical miles, optimized for speed and efficiency on regional to transcontinental legs. The 902 Explorer’s practical range is much shorter, on the order of about 300 nautical miles, reflecting its role in law enforcement, EMS, and utility missions. The S‑92 generally offers a longer helicopter range, roughly 500–600 nautical miles depending on configuration, and is commonly used for offshore transport and SAR. For passenger capacity, the Legacy 650E typically seats about 13, the Avanti EVO around 7–9, the 902 commonly 6–8, and the S‑92 typically 19 with higher-density layouts possible.
