Airbus Helicopters H145 vs Airbus Helicopters H155 vs Airbus Helicopters H160 vs Bell 429wlg Globalranger vs Leonardo Aw169

The Airbus H145 and Bell 429WLG GlobalRanger sit in the light twin category, typically configured for about seven to eight passengers (depending on cabin fit), and are generally used on shorter to medium sectors; in practical planning they offer roughly the mid‑300 to low‑400 nautical mile class of range, with the H145 often favored for utility/EMS flexibility and the 429 for a roomy, straightforward light-twin cabin. The Leonardo AW169 is a larger “light‑intermediate” twin, usually carrying around eight to ten passengers and offering a step up in cabin volume and payload, with ranges commonly in the high‑300 to mid‑400 nautical mile bracket depending on tanks and reserves. The Airbus H155 is an intermediate twin aimed at corporate and offshore-style missions, typically seating about nine to twelve passengers, with range often around the mid‑400 to roughly 500 nautical mile class. The Airbus H160 is a newer-generation medium/intermediate twin with a premium cabin, typically around eight to twelve passengers, and tends to lead this group on range, commonly around the ~500 nautical mile class depending on configuration.
