Airbus Helicopters H160 vs Airbus Helicopters H175 vs Bell 429wlg Globalranger vs Leonardo Aw139 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Md Helicopters Md 902 Exlplorer vs Sikorsky S 76d vs Sikorsky S 92

Airbus Helicopters’ H160 and H175 sit in the medium class, but the H175 is the larger people-mover. The H160 typically carries around 8–12 passengers with medium-range capability, while the H175 commonly seats about 12–16 and generally offers longer legs and higher payload for offshore and transport missions. Bell’s 429WLG GlobalRanger is a light twin, usually configured for about 6–7 passengers, with shorter-to-medium range compared with the larger mediums. Leonardo’s AW139 is a medium twin, often 10–15 passengers and strong medium-range performance; the AW189 is a larger super-medium, commonly 16–19 passengers with longer range and offshore bias. MD Helicopters’ MD 902 Explorer is a light twin, typically 6–7 passengers and the shortest range of this group. Sikorsky’s S-76D is a medium twin, usually 8–12 passengers with solid medium-range legs, while the S-92 is a heavy helicopter, typically 19 passengers and among the longest range and highest-capacity options here.
