Airbus Helicopters H135 vs Bell 407gxi vs Md Helicopters Md 902 Exlplorer vs Robinson Helicopters R66 vs Sikorsky S 76d

All five are light-to-medium civil helicopters, but they span distinct mission classes. The Airbus Helicopters H135 is a light twin, typically used for EMS, police, and corporate work; it generally offers short-to-medium range and usually carries one or two pilots plus about five to six passengers (or a medical interior). The Bell 407GXi is a light single with strong hot-and-high performance, commonly configured for one pilot and about five to six passengers, and it typically provides similar or slightly longer range than other light singles depending on tanks and payload. The MD Helicopters MD 902 Explorer is a light twin aimed at low external noise and urban operations; capacity is usually one or two pilots plus about seven passengers, with a moderate range profile. The Robinson R66 is a smaller light single optimized for cost and simplicity, typically one pilot plus four passengers, with shorter-to-medium range. The Sikorsky S-76D is a medium twin in a higher capability class, usually accommodating two pilots plus about eight to twelve passengers with longer range and greater cruise capability than the light models.
