Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Gulfstream G700

The Airbus H225 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter optimized for vertical lift missions rather than point‑to‑point jet travel; it typically carries about 19 passengers in a high‑density layout (fewer in VIP/utility configurations) and has a practical range on the order of roughly 500–700 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves. The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a long‑range twin‑turboprop business/utility airplane; it generally seats around 8–11 passengers and offers roughly 1,500–1,800 nautical miles of range (variable with load and conditions), trading jet speed for short‑field flexibility and efficiency. The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a large VIP airliner‑based business jet; passenger count varies widely by interior, but VIP layouts commonly fall in the tens (often around 25–50) with potential for far more in high‑density seating. Its range is roughly about 6,000–6,500 nautical miles. The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range purpose‑built business jet, typically configured for about 13–19 passengers, with around 7,500 nautical miles of range, emphasizing speed, cabin comfort, and nonstop intercontinental missions.
