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.
