The Airbus H225 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter built for offshore, search-and-rescue, and utility missions. It typically carries about 16 to 19 passengers in a transport layout and offers roughly 500 to 650 nautical miles of range depending on fuel fit and payload. The Robinson R66 is a light single‑engine helicopter aimed at private, training, and light utility use; it usually seats 4 to 5 people including the pilot, with an approximate range around 300 to 350 nautical miles. The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop fixed‑wing aircraft suited to regional corporate and special-mission flying. It generally seats about 8 to 11 passengers and can reach roughly 1,500 to 1,800 nautical miles with reserves, varying by configuration. The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet designed for intercontinental travel, typically accommodating about 8 to 19 passengers depending on cabin layout, and offering up to about 7,700 nautical miles of range.
