Airbus Helicopters H155 vs Airbus Helicopters H160 vs Airbus Helicopters H175 vs Bell 429 Globalranger vs Bell 525 Relentless vs Leonardo Aw169 vs Sikorsky S 76d vs Sikorsky S 92

By category, the Airbus H155, Bell 429 GlobalRanger, Leonardo AW169, and Sikorsky S‑76D are typically positioned as light-to-intermediate twins for corporate/EMS/offshore near-shore work. The Airbus H160 and Bell 525 Relentless are newer-generation medium twins aimed at higher-speed, longer-range missions, while the Airbus H175 and Sikorsky S‑92 sit in the heavy/large-medium offshore and SAR space with the greatest payload and cabin volume. On range, the light-to-intermediate group generally covers roughly 350–500 nm class missions, with the S‑76D and H155 often toward the upper end of that bracket depending on fit. The H160 and AW169 commonly sit around the ~450–600 nm class, again configuration-dependent. The H175 and especially the S‑92 are used for longer offshore sectors, often around ~450–600+ nm with reserves, while the Bell 525 targets similar or better medium-class legs, commonly quoted in the ~500–600+ nm range. For passenger capacity, the Bell 429 is typically about 6–7; the H155, AW169, and S‑76D commonly about 8–12 in transport layouts. The H160 is often around 10–12. The H175 and Bell 525 are commonly around 12–16, and the S‑92 typically about 16–19.
