Airbus Acj Twotwenty vs Airbus Helicopters H135 vs Airbus Helicopters H145 vs Airbus Helicopters H160 vs Bell 429wlg Globalranger vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700

The Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty, Bombardier Global 7500, Dassault Falcon 8X, and Gulfstream G700 are long-range business jets, while the Airbus Helicopters H135, H145, H160, and Bell 429WLG GlobalRanger are twin‑engine helicopters aimed at corporate/VIP, EMS, and utility missions. In range, the large-cabin jets dominate: Global 7500 and G700 are ultra‑long‑range flagships (roughly 7,000–7,700+ nautical miles), the Falcon 8X is also ultra‑long‑range (about 6,400 nm), and the ACJ TwoTwenty sits below the top tier but still intercontinental (around 5,600 nm). Helicopter range is far shorter by comparison: H160 is typically the longest-legged of this group (roughly 450–600 nm depending on fit), H145 and Bell 429 are broadly similar mid‑range twins (often ~300–400+ nm), and H135 is generally shorter (often ~300+ nm). Passenger capacity also separates the categories: the big jets typically carry about 12–19 passengers in executive layouts (higher in denser configs), whereas these light/midsize twins usually seat about 6–10 passengers in VIP/corporate arrangements.
