Embraer Phenom 100ev vs Embraer Praetor 500 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Embraer Phenom 100EV is a very light jet optimized for short-to-midrange trips, typically offering about 1,100–1,200 nautical miles of range and seating commonly around 4–7 passengers depending on layout. The Embraer Praetor 500 is a midsize jet aimed at longer missions, with roughly 3,300+ nautical miles of range and typical seating around 8–9 passengers, trading higher operating cost for much greater speed and endurance. The Pilatus PC-12 NGX is a single‑engine turboprop that prioritizes versatility and runway flexibility over jet speed, with about 1,700–1,800 nautical miles of range and seating commonly 6–9 passengers, with high payload practicality. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light jet designed for utility and access (including many shorter or semi-prepared runways), with about 2,000 nautical miles of range and typical seating around 6–10 passengers. In short, the Phenom 100EV is the smallest and shortest-range jet here, the Praetor 500 is the longest-range and most “true business jet” for longer nonstop legs, the PC-12 NGX is the most rugged and flexible, and the PC-24 sits between turboprop utility and light-jet performance.
