Airbus Helicopters H160 vs Bell 429wlg Globalranger vs Leonardo Aw109 Grand New vs Leonardo Aw139 vs Sikorsky S 76d

All five are twin‑engine civil helicopters, but they span light to medium classes with different mission sweet spots. The Airbus Helicopters H160 sits in the modern intermediate/medium segment, offering a typically longer practical range than most light twins and a cabin suited to about 8–10 passengers depending on layout. Bell’s 429WLG GlobalRanger is a light twin optimized for utility/EMS and short‑to‑mid missions, usually carrying around 6–7 passengers with generally shorter range than the larger intermediates. The Leonardo AW109 GrandNew is also a light twin, geared to fast VIP and corporate missions, commonly accommodating about 6–7 passengers with range competitive in the light class but below larger mediums. The Leonardo AW139 is a true medium twin with a notably larger cabin, typically seating about 12–15 passengers and offering strong range and payload for offshore, SAR, and transport roles. Sikorsky’s S‑76D is an intermediate/medium twin favored for executive and offshore work, typically carrying about 8–12 passengers with range broadly comparable to the H160 class and generally below the AW139 when configured for higher payload.
