Airbus Helicopters H125 vs Airbus Helicopters H130 vs Bell 505 Jetranger X vs Leonardo Sh09 vs Md Helicopters Md 600n vs Robinson Helicopters R44 Raven I vs Robinson Helicopters R66

All seven are light utility helicopters, but they split into turbine singles, piston singles, and one NOTAR design. The Airbus H125, H130, Bell 505, Leonardo SH09, MD 600N, and Robinson R66 are single‑engine turbines; the Robinson R44 Raven I is a piston single. In passenger capacity, the H130 is generally the largest, typically configured for a pilot plus up to six passengers. The H125 and Bell 505 usually seat a pilot plus four passengers, while the SH09 and MD 600N are commonly arranged for a pilot plus five passengers. The R66 typically carries a pilot plus four passengers, and the R44 Raven I usually carries a pilot plus three passengers. For range, the turbine singles generally cluster in a similar band: H125 and H130 are often at the higher end of this group, with the Bell 505, SH09, and R66 broadly comparable and typically somewhat lower depending on tanks and mission fit. The MD 600N’s range is also in this light‑turbine class, while the piston R44 Raven I is usually shorter‑ranged than the turbines, though still practical for local and regional missions.
