Airbus Acj Twotwenty vs Airbus Acj320 Neo vs Airbus Helicopters H135 vs Airbus Helicopters H145 vs Airbus Helicopters H160 vs Airbus Helicopters H175 vs Bell 525 Relentless vs Boeing Bbj Max 8 vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Gulfstream G800 1
On category, the ACJ TwoTwenty is a large-cabin corporate airliner derived from the A220, while the ACJ320neo and BBJ 737 MAX are VIP narrowbody airliners suited to head‑of‑state and high-capacity corporate missions. Bombardier’s Global 8000 and Gulfstream G800 are ultra‑long‑range purpose-built business jets optimized for nonstop intercontinental flying. The H135 and H145 are light twin-engine helicopters for short-range executive, utility, and EMS roles; the H160 is a newer-generation medium helicopter with higher speed and comfort; the H175 and Bell 525 Relentless sit in the super‑medium class aimed at longer offshore and executive missions. On range, the Global 8000 and G800 lead (roughly 8,000 nautical miles class). The ACJ320neo and BBJ 737 MAX follow (about 6,000 nm class), then the ACJ TwoTwenty (about 5,000–5,500 nm class). Helicopter ranges are far shorter, generally a few hundred nautical miles, with H175 and Bell 525 typically higher than H160, and H145/H135 lower. On passenger capacity, ACJ320neo and BBJ 737 MAX can accommodate the most in high-density layouts (well over 100), but in VIP form are typically a few dozen. ACJ TwoTwenty usually carries around 18–20 in luxury. Global 8000 and G800 typically seat about 15–19. Helicopters generally seat from about 5–7 (H135) up to around 16–19 (H175/Bell 525) depending on configuration.
