Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Robinson R66

The Airbus H225 is a large twin‑engine helicopter aimed at offshore transport and search‑and‑rescue. It typically carries roughly 16–19 passengers (depending on layout) and offers on the order of about 400–600 nautical miles of range, trading speed and runway independence for shorter range than most fixed‑wing aircraft. The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop utility aircraft optimized for longer legs and higher payload flexibility. It generally seats about 8–11 passengers and can reach roughly 1,500–1,800 nautical miles, making it the longest‑range option here for passenger missions. The Daher TBM 960 is a high‑performance single‑engine turboprop focused on fast owner‑pilot or small‑team travel. It typically carries 4–6 passengers and delivers about 1,000–1,400 nautical miles of range. The Robinson R66 is a light single‑engine helicopter best suited to short regional hops and access to tight landing sites. It normally seats 4–5 passengers and has roughly 300–350 nautical miles of range.
