Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer vs Pilatus Pc 24 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Embraer Legacy 650E and Pilatus PC-24 are fixed‑wing business jets, while the MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer and Sikorsky S‑92 are helicopters. In range, the Legacy 650E is the long‑haul option at roughly 3,900 nautical miles, suited to intercontinental-style missions. The PC‑24 is a “super versatile” light/midsize jet with about 2,000 nautical miles of range, typically used for regional trips and capable of operating from shorter or less‑prepared runways. Helicopters trade speed and range for vertical access: the MD 902 Explorer is a light twin with about 300–350 nautical miles of range, and the larger S‑92 is a medium/heavy twin often around 500–600 nautical miles depending on configuration. For passenger capacity, the Legacy 650E typically seats up to about 13 in an executive layout, and the PC‑24 commonly carries 6–10 in business use (with higher maximums in commuter/evac layouts). The MD 902 usually carries 7–8 passengers, while the S‑92 is the people-mover, frequently configured for 12–19 passengers (and can be higher in high-density layouts).
