Airbus Helicopters H135 vs Airbus Helicopters H145 vs Airbus Helicopters H155 vs Airbus Helicopters H160 vs Airbus Helicopters H175 vs Leonardo Aw139 vs Leonardo Aw169 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H135 is a light twin, typically used for EMS and training, with short‑to‑medium range (roughly 300–350 nm) and seating commonly around 5–7 passengers. The H145 is also a light twin but larger, offering medium range (about 300–400 nm) and typically 8–10 passengers. The H155 sits in the medium class with longer legs (around 430–500 nm) and usually carries about 10–13. The H160 is a new‑generation medium twin, generally similar in mission to the H155 but with improved efficiency, offering roughly 440–480 nm and about 10–12 passengers. The H175 is a super‑medium, aimed at offshore and SAR, with medium‑long range (about 500–650 nm) and around 12–16 passengers. Leonardo’s AW139 is a super‑medium workhorse with similar offshore utility, typically around 500–650 nm and about 12–15 passengers. The AW169 is a light‑intermediate twin, usually around 400–450 nm and about 8–10 passengers. The Sikorsky S‑92 is a heavy helicopter, optimized for offshore transport, with roughly 500–600+ nm range and typically 19 passengers in an oil‑and‑gas layout.
