The Airbus H145, Bell 429WLG GlobalRanger, MD 902 Explorer, and Sikorsky S‑76D are light-to-medium twin helicopters suited to short-range missions; typical practical range is a few hundred nautical miles, and cabin capacity is generally about 6–10 passengers depending on layout, with the S‑76D often configured toward the upper end. The Airbus H160 is a larger, newer medium helicopter, usually offering similar passenger counts (often 6–12) but with somewhat longer range and higher comfort. The Dassault Falcon 900LX is a long-range large-cabin business jet, commonly carrying about 12–16 passengers with intercontinental range. The Gulfstream G800 and Bombardier Global 8000 are ultra-long-range business jets, typically configured around 12–19 passengers and designed for the longest nonstop city pairs. The Boeing BBJ 777‑8 and BBJ 777‑9 are widebody VIP airliners in an entirely different category: very large cabin volume, typically fitted for roughly 25–80+ passengers in bespoke layouts, with true intercontinental to near–ultra-long-range capability, with the 777‑9 prioritizing cabin volume and the 777‑8 generally emphasizing range.
