Airbus Helicopters H160 vs Bell 505 Jetranger X vs Bell 525 Relentless vs Leonardo Aw109 Grand New vs Leonardo Aw139 vs Robinson Helicopters R22 Beta Ii vs Robinson Helicopters R44 Cadet

By category, the Airbus Helicopters H160 and Leonardo AW139 are modern, twin‑engine, medium helicopters aimed at offshore, EMS, and corporate transport, while the Bell 525 Relentless is a larger, twin‑engine “super‑medium” designed for longer-range offshore and high-utilization missions. The Leonardo AW109 Grand New is a lighter, twin‑engine helicopter optimized for fast VIP and medical roles. The Bell 505 JetRanger X is a light, single‑engine turbine helicopter primarily for training, utility, and light charter. Robinson’s R22 Beta II and R44 Cadet are light, piston, two‑seat and two‑seat (training-focused) helicopters respectively, typically used for ab initio training and low-cost local operations. In range, the R22 and R44 Cadet are generally shortest, best for local flights. The Bell 505 and AW109 typically offer moderate range suitable for regional hops. The H160 and AW139 usually provide long range for offshore legs, while the Bell 525 is generally longest among these, aimed at extended offshore missions. In passenger capacity, the R22 carries 1 passenger, the R44 Cadet typically 1 passenger, the Bell 505 about 4 passengers, the AW109 about 6–7, and the H160, AW139, and Bell 525 commonly around 12–16 depending on configuration.
