Airbus Helicopters H130 vs Bell 407gxi vs Bell 429wlg Globalranger vs Enstrom Helicotper 480b G vs Leonardo Aw109 Grand New vs Leonardo Sh09 vs Md Helicopters Md 500e vs Md Helicopters Md 600n vs Robinson Helicopters R66

All of these are light helicopters, but they span single‑engine utility, higher‑end singles, and light twins. Airbus’s H130 is a single‑engine, high‑cabin‑volume aircraft typically used for tourism and utility, usually carrying a pilot plus up to about six passengers, with a range generally in the mid‑300 nm class depending on fit. Bell’s 407GXi is also a single‑engine light utility helicopter, commonly configured for a pilot plus five or six passengers, with broadly similar mid‑300 nm range. Bell’s 429WLG is a light twin‑engine category aircraft aimed at EMS/corporate roles, usually seating one or two pilots plus up to about six or seven passengers, and it typically offers longer legs than most singles, often around the 380–410 nm class. The Enstrom 480B‑G is a simpler single‑engine piston utility helicopter, generally a pilot plus four passengers, with shorter range typically around the ~200–300 nm class. Leonardo’s AW109 GrandNew is a fast light twin, commonly one or two pilots plus six or seven passengers, with range often around the low‑to‑mid‑400 nm class. The Leonardo SH09 is a newer single‑engine light category concept/program, expected to sit near the H130/407 class for capacity and range. MD’s 500E is a compact single‑engine light helicopter, typically four passengers plus pilot with shorter range; the MD 600N is similar but roomier, usually five passengers plus pilot with moderate range. Robinson’s R66 is a light single‑engine turbine, typically four passengers plus pilot with moderate range.
