Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E

The Airbus H225 is a large twin‑engine helicopter suited to offshore, SAR, and utility missions; it typically carries about 19 passengers and has a practical range on the order of 450–650 nautical miles depending on configuration. The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop business/utility aircraft; it usually seats about 6–9 passengers in executive layouts (up to around 11–15 in commuter configurations) and offers long endurance for its class, roughly 1,500–1,800 nautical miles with reserves depending on payload. The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a large‑cabin VIP airliner based on the 737 MAX 9; it can be outfitted for roughly 25–50 VIP passengers (with much higher possible in dense seating) and is designed for intercontinental missions, about 6,000–6,600 nautical miles depending on options. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a long‑range large‑cabin business jet typically configured for about 13–14 passengers and flies roughly 3,900–4,000 nautical miles, bridging the gap between turboprops and VIP airliners in range and cabin size.
