Airbus Helicopters H145 vs Airbus Helicopters H155 vs Airbus Helicopters H160 vs Airbus Helicopters H175

The Airbus Helicopters H145 is a light twin-engine helicopter, typically used for EMS, law enforcement, and utility work; it offers the shortest range of the four and commonly carries about 8 to 9 passengers in a corporate/transport layout (or fewer with mission equipment). The H155 sits in the medium twin category and is oriented toward VIP and offshore support; it generally provides a longer range than the H145 and usually accommodates around 12 to 13 passengers. The H160 is a newer-generation medium twin with advanced aerodynamics and avionics; in passenger transport it is typically configured for roughly 12 passengers and offers range broadly comparable to, and often greater than, the H155 depending on configuration. The H175 is a super-medium twin designed primarily for offshore missions and higher payload; it typically carries around 16 to 18 passengers and generally offers the greatest practical mission range of the group, depending on cabin fit, reserves, and fuel options.
