Enstrom 480b vs Gulfstream G700 vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer vs Piper M600 Sls

The Enstrom 480B and MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer are light turbine helicopters, while the Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop airplane and the Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet. In category and typical mission, the 480B is a smaller utility/training‑capable helicopter, the 902 is a larger light twin‑engine helicopter suited to corporate, EMS, or law‑enforcement roles, the M600 SLS targets owner‑pilot and small business travel, and the G700 is built for intercontinental executive transport. For range, the G700 is by far the longest, designed for transoceanic legs (about 7,500 nautical miles), the M600 SLS is next with roughly 1,500 nautical miles depending on reserves and conditions, and both helicopters are much shorter‑range, generally in the few‑hundred‑nautical‑mile class (the 902 typically longer than the 480B). For passenger capacity, the G700 carries the most (commonly up to around 19 in high‑density, fewer in typical executive layouts), the M600 SLS typically seats 5–6, the 902 is commonly configured for about 8–10, and the 480B generally seats about 5 including the pilot.
