Airbus Helicopters H125 vs Airbus Helicopters H130 vs Leonardo Aw119kx vs Leonardo Sh09 vs Md Helicopters Md 500e vs Md Helicopters Md 600n

All six are single‑engine light helicopters, but they split into utility versus passenger‑comfort niches. The Airbus H125 is a high‑power utility/mission platform (often used for external load and high‑altitude work) with typical seating for 1–2 pilots plus up to 5–6 passengers, and a practical range in the roughly 330–360 nm class depending on tanks and mission. The Airbus H130 is tuned more for quiet, high‑visibility passenger and tourism work with a larger cabin and typical seating for 1 pilot plus up to 6 passengers; range is broadly similar, often around 320–350 nm. Leonardo’s AW119Kx is a fast, IFR‑capable light single in the same general category, usually seating 1–2 pilots plus up to 6–7 passengers, with typical range around 300–360 nm. The Leonardo SH09 (still emerging/limited in service) is a light single aimed at modern cabin comfort, generally around 1 pilot plus about 4–6 passengers, with expected range roughly in the 300 nm neighborhood. The MD 500E is a lighter, smaller‑cabin light single, commonly 1–2 pilots plus about 3–4 passengers, with shorter typical range around 250–300 nm. The MD 600N grows that concept with more cabin volume and usually 1–2 pilots plus about 5–6 passengers, with typical range around 300–330 nm.
