The Embraer Legacy 650E is a long‑range large business jet, optimized for intercontinental missions with roughly 3,900 nautical miles of range and typically seating about 13 passengers in a multi‑zone cabin. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a high‑speed turboprop business aircraft, generally suited to regional and near‑transcontinental flying, offering about 1,700–1,800 nautical miles of range and usually carrying around 6–8 passengers in an executive layout. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a “super versatile jet” designed for business and special missions, notable for operating from shorter or unimproved runways; it has roughly 2,000 nautical miles of range and commonly seats 6–10 passengers, with higher maximum seating possible in commuter-style configurations. The Sikorsky S‑92 is a large twin‑engine helicopter used for offshore, government, and VIP transport; it trades speed and range for vertical lift, with approximately 500–600 nautical miles of range and seating commonly around 12–19 passengers depending on interior and mission.
