Gulfstream G700 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Sikorsky S 92

The Gulfstream G700 is a long‑range ultra‑long‑haul business jet, optimized for intercontinental missions. It offers by far the greatest range of the four (roughly 7,500 nautical miles) and typically carries about 12–19 passengers in a high‑end cabin configuration, prioritizing speed, altitude, and comfort. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft aimed at efficient regional and medium‑range travel. Its range is far shorter than the G700 (around 1,500–1,800 nautical miles depending on payload and profile) and it typically seats about 6–9 passengers, trading outright speed and range for operating economy and access to shorter runways. The Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a super‑medium twin helicopter intended for offshore transport, SAR, and utility/VIP roles. Its range is typically on the order of a few hundred nautical miles (often roughly 450–500 nautical miles with reserves, mission‑dependent) with seating commonly around 16–19 passengers. The Sikorsky S‑92 is a heavy twin helicopter widely used for offshore and government transport. Its range is similar in class (typically around 500 nautical miles, mission‑dependent) and it generally carries about 19 passengers, emphasizing payload, robustness, and all‑weather capability over speed and range.
