Airbus Helicopters H125 vs Airbus Helicopters H130 vs Bell 505 Jetranger X vs Leonardo Sh09 vs Md Helicopters Md 500e vs Md Helicopters Md 530f vs Robinson Helicopters R66

All seven are light single‑engine helicopters except the Robinson R66, which is light twin‑style in size but actually a single‑engine turbine, and they broadly split into utility versus premium/passenger roles. The Airbus H125 is a light utility/“hot and high” workhorse with the longest typical range in this group and usually carries 1 pilot plus up to 5 passengers. The Airbus H130 is a light single optimized for quiet, spacious passenger transport; it commonly carries 1 pilot plus up to 6 passengers, with range generally a bit less than an H125. The Bell 505 JetRanger X is a light single aimed at training and corporate/light utility; it typically carries 1 pilot plus 4 passengers and has mid‑pack range. The Leonardo SH09 (AW09) is a newer light single in the same general class as the H125/505, typically configured around 1 pilot plus 5 passengers with competitive, mid‑to‑upper range depending on fit. The MD 500E and MD 530F are light, agile utility/scout types; both are usually 1 pilot plus 4 passengers, with the 530F generally offering better high‑altitude performance and useful load while range remains moderate. The Robinson R66 is a light turbine single often used for private and training; it typically carries 1 pilot plus 4 passengers with moderate range.
