The Airbus H225 and Enstrom 480B are helicopters, while the Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Bombardier Global 7500 are fixed‑wing business aircraft. The H225 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter aimed at offshore transport, search and rescue, and utility missions; it typically carries roughly 16–19 passengers and has a practical range on the order of about 500–700 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves. The Enstrom 480B is a light single‑engine piston helicopter for training and personal/utility flying; it generally seats 4–5 and offers a much shorter range, roughly around 200–300 nautical miles. The King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop business/utility aircraft optimized for long endurance; it commonly seats about 8–11 and can reach roughly 1,500–1,800 nautical miles (higher with certain mission profiles). The Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet; typical seating is around 14–19 and its headline range is about 7,700 nautical miles, making it the clear leader in intercontinental capability.
