Airbus Helicopters H125 vs Bell 429 Globalranger vs Leonardo Aw109 Grand New vs Leonardo Aw119kx vs Leonardo Sh09 vs Robinson Helicopters R44 Raven I vs Robinson Helicopters R44 Raven Ii

The Airbus Helicopters H125 and Leonardo AW119Kx are single‑engine light utility helicopters. The H125 typically carries about 5–6 passengers (plus a pilot) and offers mid‑to‑long light‑single range, while the AW119Kx is similar in seating but is often cited with a comparatively longer ferry range in its class, depending on tank fit. The Robinson R44 Raven I and Raven II are smaller, piston‑engine light helicopters aimed at private and training use, generally carrying 3 passengers plus a pilot, with notably shorter range than the turbine singles and twins; the Raven II is a higher‑gross‑weight, more capable evolution of the Raven I, but both remain in the short‑range category. The Bell 429 GlobalRanger and Leonardo AW109 Grand New are light twin‑engine helicopters. Both typically seat about 6–7 passengers (plus crew) and provide longer range and higher cruise performance than the light singles, with the Bell 429 often favored for a roomier cabin and the AW109 for speed. The Leonardo SH09 sits in the light single segment with roughly 4–6 passenger capacity and mid‑range capability, generally between the R44 class and the light twins.
