Airbus Helicopters H125 vs Airbus Helicopters H130 vs Airbus Helicopters H135 vs Bell 407gxi vs Bell 429wlg Globalranger vs Bell 505 Jetranger X vs Leonardo Sh09 vs Robinson Helicopters R66

Airbus Helicopters H125 and H130 are single‑engine, light utility/tourism helicopters with broadly similar short‑to‑medium ranges; the H125 is typically optimized for higher‑power utility and “hot‑and‑high” work, while the H130 emphasizes cabin volume and passenger comfort. Both generally carry a pilot plus around five to six passengers depending on configuration and weight. Airbus H135 and Bell 429WLG GlobalRanger are twin‑engine light helicopters aimed at EMS, corporate, and law‑enforcement roles, usually offering longer practical mission range than most single‑engine types and seating commonly in the six‑to‑eight‑passenger class (plus crew), with the 429 often marketed for its roomy cabin and higher useful load. Bell 407GXi and Robinson R66 are single‑engine light utility helicopters with medium ranges and typical seating of one pilot plus four passengers, with the 407GXi usually positioned as the higher‑performance, higher‑payload option. Bell 505 JetRanger X is a lighter single‑engine model with shorter‑to‑medium range and commonly one pilot plus four passengers. Leonardo SH09 (AW09) is a modern single‑engine light helicopter targeting the same general class as the 407/H125, with medium range and typical five‑to‑six‑seat layouts.
