Airbus Helicopters H145 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700

The Airbus Helicopters H145 is a twin‑engine light/medium helicopter intended for short‑range, low‑altitude missions such as EMS, law enforcement, offshore, and utility work. Its range is much shorter than long‑range business jets—typically only a few hundred nautical miles depending on configuration and reserves—and it generally carries a small group, often around six to nine passengers (or fewer when configured for medical/mission equipment). The Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra‑long‑range business jet designed for intercontinental travel. It offers roughly 7,500 nautical miles of range and is typically arranged for about 11 to 18 passengers, with multiple cabin zones for sleeping and work. The Gulfstream G700 is also an ultra‑long‑range business jet, optimized for a larger, more flexible cabin. Its range is slightly shorter than the G650ER at about 7,500 nautical miles class but typically around 7,500 nautical miles, and it commonly accommodates about 12 to 19 passengers with more emphasis on spacious living areas.
