Airbus Helicopters H125 vs Airbus Helicopters H130 vs Md Helicopters Md 520n vs Md Helicopters Md 600n vs Md Helicopters Md 902 Exlplorer

The Airbus Helicopters H125 is a versatile light single-engine utility helicopter, typically seating a pilot plus about five to six passengers depending on configuration, with a generally longer practical range than most in the MD “N” series and strong hot-and-high performance. The Airbus Helicopters H130 is also a light single, oriented more toward passenger comfort and tourism/EMS cabin volume, usually carrying a pilot plus six passengers; its range is broadly comparable to the H125, often slightly shorter in typical passenger-focused interiors. MD Helicopters’ MD 520N is a light single designed for agility and low noise (NOTAR), commonly configured for a pilot plus about three to four passengers, and it typically has the shortest range of this group. The MD 600N is a larger NOTAR single with more cabin and payload than the 520N, often seating a pilot plus about five to six passengers, with mid-pack range. The MD 902 Explorer is a light twin (also NOTAR), aimed at higher redundancy and mission capability, generally seating a pilot plus six to seven passengers, with range typically similar to or better than the MD 600N and competitive within the group depending on configuration.
