The Enstrom 480B and Sikorsky S‑92 are helicopters, while the Pilatus PC‑24 and Piper M600 SLS are fixed‑wing business aircraft. The Enstrom 480B is a light single‑engine piston helicopter suited to short‑range missions and typically carries a pilot plus about four passengers, with range generally a few hundred miles depending on reserves and loading. The Sikorsky S‑92 is a large twin‑engine transport helicopter designed for offshore and utility work; it carries far more people, commonly around 19 passengers in high‑density configurations, and offers medium range roughly in the 400–600 nautical mile class depending on fit and fuel. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop pressurized airplane aimed at owner‑operators; it typically seats one pilot plus five passengers and delivers long range for its class, roughly 1,200–1,500 nautical miles. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a twin‑engine light business jet; it generally carries six to ten passengers (layout dependent) and combines jet speed with transcontinental‑leaning range, roughly 1,800–2,000 nautical miles.
