Airbus Helicopters H125 vs Bell 407gxi vs Bell 505 Jetranger X vs Leonardo Sh09 vs Md Helicopters Md 600n vs Robinson Helicopters R66

All six are light, single‑engine helicopters except the Robinson R66, which is a light twin? (No, the R66 is also single‑engine), and they split into “light single” utility/tour roles with differing cabin size and reach. The Airbus H125 (AS350) sits at the top of this group as a high‑performance light single for utility and high/hot work, typically carrying 1 pilot plus up to 5 passengers and offering a roughly 330–360 nm class range depending on fit. The Bell 407GXi is a premium light single with similar 1+5 seating and a comparable roughly mid‑300 nm range, often chosen for corporate/EMS-capable missions. The Bell 505 is a lighter, simpler light single, generally 1+4 and usually around the high‑200 to ~300 nm range. Leonardo’s SH09 is a newer light single aimed at the same 1+4 segment with an expected roughly ~300 nm class reach depending on certification and tank options. The MD 600N is a NOTAR light single with a larger feel than many 5‑seat types, commonly configured 1+5 and typically in the low‑300 nm range. The Robinson R66 is a cost‑focused turbine light single, usually 1+4 with about ~300 nm class range.
