Airbus Helicopters H125 vs Airbus Helicopters H135 vs Airbus Helicopters H145 vs Airbus Helicopters H160 vs Airbus Helicopters H175 vs Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Dassault Falcon 10x vs Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Airbus Helicopters H125 is a single‑engine light utility helicopter with relatively short range and a small cabin, typically carrying about 5–6 passengers plus pilot. The H135 and H145 are twin‑engine light helicopters; both generally offer moderate range, with the H145 providing a larger cabin and typically accommodating roughly 6–8 passengers (more in high‑density layouts) versus about 5–7 for the H135. The H160 is a newer‑generation medium twin with longer range than the light twins and a more spacious, quieter cabin, commonly seating around 6–10. The H175 and H225 are heavy twin helicopters aimed at offshore and high‑payload missions; they deliver the longest helicopter ranges in this group and typically carry about 12–16 passengers (more in transport configurations). By contrast, the Dassault Falcon 10X is an ultra‑long‑range wide‑cabin business jet with intercontinental range and typical executive seating around 8–16. The Falcon 2000LXS is a long‑range large‑cabin business jet with shorter range than the 10X and typically 8–10 passengers. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a light jet optimized for versatile operations, offering moderate range and typically 6–10 passengers.
