Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S-92 are heavy, twin‑engine helicopters designed for offshore transport and utility missions, offering vertical takeoff/landing and strong all‑weather capability. Typical ranges are on the order of roughly 450–600 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves. In passenger transport configurations they commonly seat about 16–19 passengers, with layouts varying by operator and mission equipment. The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a pressurized twin‑turboprop fixed‑wing aircraft aimed at efficient regional and special‑mission flying. It trades helicopter flexibility for higher cruise efficiency and usually provides a longer range than the helicopters, roughly around 1,500–1,800 nautical miles, with a typical passenger capacity around 6–9 in executive seating (higher in utility layouts). The Embraer Legacy 650E is a long‑range super‑midsize business jet focused on speed and comfort over distance. It generally offers the greatest range of the four, about 3,900 nautical miles, and typically carries around 13 passengers in an executive cabin.
