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 vs Bell 429 Globalranger vs Bell 429wlg Globalranger vs Bell 505 Jetranger X vs Leonardo Aw109 Grand New

By category, the H125 and Bell 505 are light single‑engine helicopters; they trade lower operating cost for less redundancy and are typically used for utility, training, and light charter. The H130 is also light single‑engine but optimized for quiet, spacious sightseeing/VIP work. The H135, H145, Bell 429/429WLG, and AW109 Grand New are light twin‑engine models; they offer higher cruise performance and better all‑weather/IFR mission fit, common in EMS, police, and corporate transport. The H155 and H160 sit in the medium twin segment with more cabin volume, higher comfort, and longer legs for offshore and executive missions. The H175 is a super‑medium twin aimed at offshore and high‑payload transport. The H215 and H225 are heavy twins focused on large payloads, long overwater range, and robust offshore/SAR roles. By range, light singles are generally shortest, light twins are moderate, medium twins are longer, and super‑medium/heavy twins are typically the longest, especially with auxiliary fuel. By passenger capacity, light singles usually carry about 4–7, light twins about 6–8, medium twins about 8–12, super‑medium around the mid‑teens, and heavy twins roughly 16–19+ depending on configuration.
