Airbus’s H145 is a light twin in the 3–4 ton class, typically carrying about 8–10 passengers with a practical range around 350–400 nm depending on fit. The H160 is a medium twin (about 6 tons) aimed at higher speed and efficiency, commonly configured for roughly 10–12 passengers and often offering about 450–500 nm class range. The H175 steps up as a super‑medium (about 7–8 tons), usually seating around 12–16 passengers with typical range near 500–600 nm. The H215 (AS332 L1e) is a heavy twin, optimized for lift and utility, frequently configured for about 19 passengers with range commonly in the 400–500 nm band. Bell’s 525 Relentless is a modern super‑medium, generally in the 16–20 passenger category with range often around 500–600 nm. Leonardo’s AW139 is a widely used medium twin, typically around 12–15 passengers with range roughly 500–600 nm. The AW169 is a light‑intermediate twin, commonly around 8–10 passengers with range typically about 400–450 nm.
