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 Robinson Helicopters R66

All eight are light helicopters, but they split into single‑engine versus twin‑engine categories, which strongly affects range and passenger capacity. The Airbus H130, Bell 407GXi, Enstrom 480B‑G, MD 500E, and Robinson R66 are single‑engine light utility/tour platforms; they generally carry about five to seven total occupants depending on fit, with ranges typically in the roughly 300–400 nm class, with the 407GXi and H130 often seen toward the higher‑capacity end of this single‑engine group and the MD 500E typically carrying fewer. The Bell 429WLG GlobalRanger and Leonardo AW109 GrandNew are light twins aimed at IFR, EMS, and executive roles; they usually offer higher passenger capacity (commonly up to seven or eight total occupants) and comparable or somewhat longer practical ranges than many singles, often around the mid‑300 nm to low‑400 nm bracket, depending on reserves and interior. The Leonardo SH09 (single‑engine) sits between utility and premium cabin use, typically offering around six seats and a range broadly similar to other modern light singles. Actual certified ranges and seating depend on configuration, payload, and fuel.
