The Embraer Legacy 650E is a long‑range, large‑cabin business jet designed for intercontinental missions, typically carrying about 12–14 passengers in executive seating and offering roughly 3,900 nautical miles of range. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a light business jet with strong short/rough‑field capability, suited to regional and medium‑range travel; it generally carries around 6–10 passengers depending on configuration and has about 2,000 nautical miles of range. The Robinson R66 is a light, single‑engine turbine helicopter optimized for short‑range utility and point‑to‑point access, typically seating 4 passengers plus a pilot and offering on the order of 300 nautical miles of range. The Sikorsky S‑92 is a large, twin‑engine helicopter used for offshore, VIP, and search‑and‑rescue roles; it commonly carries roughly 12–19 passengers (higher in utility layouts) and provides approximately 500–600 nautical miles of range. Overall, the jets lead on range and cruise efficiency, while the helicopters trade range for vertical access and mission flexibility.
