Airbus Helicopters H125 vs Airbus Helicopters H130 vs Airbus Helicopters H135 vs Airbus Helicopters H145 vs Airbus Helicopters H155 vs Airbus Helicopters H160 vs Airbus Helicopters H175 vs Airbus Helicopters H215 vs Airbus Helicopters H225

Airbus’s light single‑engine H125 and H130 sit in the “light single” category. The H125 is a rugged utility platform with moderate range (roughly 300–350 nm) and typically carries 5 passengers plus a pilot, while the H130 is optimized for quiet, high‑comfort touring with similar range and usually 6–7 passengers plus a pilot depending on layout. The twin‑engine light class begins with the H135 and H145. The H135 favors EMS and corporate missions, offering about 300 nm class range and typically 5–6 passengers (or a medical cabin), while the roomier H145 generally carries about 7–8 passengers with comparable or slightly better range. Moving into the medium category, the H155 carries around 12 passengers with about 400+ nm class range. The newer H160 is a modern medium twin aimed at efficiency and comfort, typically seating about 12 with roughly 450 nm class range. In the super‑medium class, the H175 commonly seats about 16 and reaches roughly 500 nm class range. The heavy twins are the H215 and H225, generally configured for around 19 passengers and offering long offshore‑style ranges, typically about 500+ nm depending on tanks and payload.
