Airbus Helicopters H125 vs Airbus Helicopters H135 vs Bell 429 Globalranger vs Bell 505 Jetranger X vs Leonardo Aw109 Trekker vs Leonardo Aw609 Tiltrotor

The Airbus H125 is a single‑engine light utility helicopter, typically carrying about 5–6 passengers with a practical range around 330–350 nm. The Airbus H135 is a twin‑engine light helicopter aimed at EMS/corporate use, commonly seating about 5–7 passengers with roughly 330–350 nm range. Bell’s 429 GlobalRanger is a twin‑engine light intermediate helicopter with a larger cabin, typically 6–7 passengers and about 380–410 nm range. The Bell 505 JetRanger X is a single‑engine light helicopter optimized for training and light utility, usually 4 passengers with about 300–330 nm range. The Leonardo AW109 Trekker is a twin‑engine light helicopter with higher cruise speed and executive/utility flexibility, generally 6–7 passengers with about 400–450 nm range. The Leonardo AW609 is a tiltrotor, bridging helicopter and turboprop roles; it typically seats about 6–9 passengers and offers markedly longer range, roughly 700–1,000 nm depending on configuration, reflecting its higher-speed, longer-distance mission profile.
