Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Piper M600 Sls vs Sikorsky S 92

The Piaggio Avanti EVO and Piper M600 SLS are pressurized fixed‑wing turboprops aimed at fast, efficient business travel, while the Sikorsky S‑92 is a large twin‑engine helicopter designed for offshore transport, search and rescue, and utility missions. In range, the Avanti EVO generally offers the longest legs among the two turboprops, typically around 1,700–1,800 nautical miles depending on load and reserves, whereas the M600 SLS is somewhat shorter, roughly around 1,400–1,500 nautical miles. The S‑92’s range is mission‑dependent and usually shorter than the fixed‑wing options, commonly on the order of about 500–600 nautical miles with reserves, trading cruise efficiency for vertical lift and point‑to‑point access. For passenger capacity, the M600 SLS is usually configured for about five to six passengers, the Avanti EVO commonly seats around six to seven in typical executive layouts, and the S‑92 carries far more, often around 12–19 passengers depending on configuration and mission equipment.
