By category, the Airbus H155, Bell 429WLG, Leonardo AW109 GrandNew/AW109 Trekker, MD 902 Explorer, and Sikorsky S-76D are typically positioned as light-to-medium twin helicopters for corporate, EMS, and utility work, while the Airbus H160 and Leonardo AW169 sit in the “intermediate” class, and the Airbus H175 and Leonardo AW139 are in the medium twin segment aimed at higher payload, offshore, and multi-role missions. In range terms, the light-to-medium group generally offers moderate point-to-point capability, with the AW109 variants and Bell 429 commonly used for shorter regional legs, and the H155 and S-76D often selected when a bit more cabin comfort and mission radius are desired. The H160 and AW169 generally extend practical range versus the lighter set, while the AW139 and H175 are commonly chosen for longer-range, higher-endurance missions, including offshore operations. Passenger capacity broadly steps up with size: light twins usually seat around 6–8 passengers, intermediate types around 8–10, and medium twins commonly around 12–16, depending on interior, fuel, and mission equipment.
