Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S‑92 are medium twin‑engine helicopters, typically used for offshore transport, search and rescue, and utility missions. Their practical range is generally in the few‑hundred‑nautical‑mile class, varying with payload and reserves, and both usually carry around 16–19 passengers in typical transport layouts. The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop fixed‑wing aircraft in the utility/business category; it trades vertical lift for much longer endurance and range, roughly around 1,500 nautical miles depending on configuration, and commonly seats about 8–11 passengers (with higher-density options). The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop in the high‑performance personal/business category; it is optimized for speed and efficiency with a range typically around 1,400–1,700 nautical miles and usually carries 4–6 passengers plus a pilot (up to about 6 passengers in many interiors). Overall, the helicopters prioritize point‑to‑point access and cabin capacity, while the turboprops prioritize range and cruise efficiency.
