Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S-92 are twin‑engine medium helicopters used for offshore transport, search and rescue, and executive/VIP missions. Their ranges are in the few‑hundred‑nautical‑mile class, typically around 450–550 nm depending on payload and reserves, and they generally carry about 16–19 passengers in high‑density seating (often fewer in VIP layouts). The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop, pressurized business/utility airplane suited to regional point‑to‑point flying. It offers a much longer range than the helicopters—roughly 1,500–1,800 nm depending on configuration—and typically seats about 6–11 passengers, with higher capacity in commuter layouts. The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a large, long‑range VIP airliner based on the 737 MAX 9. It has intercontinental range on the order of about 6,000+ nm with auxiliary tanks and can be outfitted for a few dozen passengers in luxurious corporate layouts, while the underlying airframe can seat well over 150 in airline configuration.
