Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Airbus H225 is a long‑range twin‑engine helicopter, typically used for offshore transport and SAR. Its practical range is roughly 450–600 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves, and it commonly seats around 16–19 passengers in an airline-style layout (or fewer with mission equipment). The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a pressurized twin‑turboprop airplane optimized for efficient regional missions. Range is about 1,800–2,000 nautical miles (mission dependent), with typical seating around 8–9 passengers in executive configuration (higher-density commuter layouts exist). The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin long‑range business jet. It offers roughly 3,900–4,000 nautical miles of range and usually carries 12–13 passengers in a standard executive layout, with a maximum around 14. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a high‑speed twin‑turboprop business aircraft, bridging turboprop efficiency and near‑light‑jet cruise. Its range is typically about 1,500–1,800 nautical miles, with a common cabin capacity of 6–8 passengers (up to about 9).
