Airbus Helicopters H130 vs Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Dassault Falcon 8x

The Airbus Helicopters H130 is a single‑engine light helicopter aimed at short, flexible point‑to‑point trips, typically serving around six to seven passengers (depending on layout) with a practical range in the few‑hundred‑mile class, making it best for local access where runways are unavailable. The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft designed for regional to medium‑long missions; it commonly carries about six to nine passengers in executive configurations and offers substantially longer range than the H130, generally in the low‑to‑mid‑thousands of miles depending on payload and reserves. The Dassault Falcon 8X is a long‑range, large‑cabin trijet business jet built for intercontinental travel, typically accommodating roughly 12 to 16 passengers, and delivering the longest range of the three at approximately 6,000+ nautical miles, enabling nonstop city pairs that are far beyond turboprop or helicopter capability.
