Airbus Helicopters H130 vs Airbus Helicopters H135 vs Airbus Helicopters H145 vs Airbus Helicopters H155 vs Airbus Helicopters H160 vs Airbus Helicopters H175 vs Sikorsky S 92

Airbus’s H130 is a light single‑engine helicopter, typically used for short‑ to medium‑range missions with about six to seven passengers depending on configuration. The H135 is a light twin with broadly similar passenger counts (around six to seven) but generally better IFR/EMS capability and a comparable or somewhat longer practical range. The H145 steps up within the light‑twin class, usually seating about eight to nine, with more useful load and typically longer mission endurance than H135. The H155 is a medium twin aimed at corporate and offshore roles, commonly configured for about ten to twelve passengers and offering more range than the light twins. The H160 is a modern medium twin, often around twelve passengers, with efficient aerodynamics that support solid medium‑range performance. The H175 is a super‑medium twin optimized for offshore transport, typically around sixteen to eighteen passengers with longer range than the H155/H160 in many offshore layouts. Sikorsky’s S‑92 is a heavy twin, usually around nineteen passengers (or more in some layouts), built for longer overwater missions with strong payload and range.
