Airbus Helicopters H130 vs Bell 429 Globalranger vs Cessna Citation Longitude vs Embraer Phenom 100ev vs Embraer Phenom 300e

The Airbus Helicopters H130 is a single‑engine light helicopter suited to short regional hops, typically carrying about six to seven passengers plus a pilot, with a practical range on the order of roughly 300–350 nautical miles depending on load and reserves. The Bell 429 GlobalRanger is a twin‑engine light helicopter with higher performance and redundancy, commonly configured for about six to seven passengers plus crew, and a similar but often slightly greater typical range around 350–400 nautical miles. Moving to jets, the Embraer Phenom 100EV is a very light jet aimed at short‑to‑medium missions, usually seating four to six passengers (up to seven in some layouts) with a range around 1,100–1,200 nautical miles. The Embraer Phenom 300E is a light jet with more cabin and speed, typically carrying six to eight passengers and reaching roughly 2,000–2,100 nautical miles. The Cessna Citation Longitude steps up to the super‑midsize category, commonly seating eight to twelve passengers, and offers the longest range here at about 3,500 nautical miles, making it best for longer nonstop city pairs.
