Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Airbus H225 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter suited to offshore, rescue, and utility work. Its practical range is roughly in the 400–700 nm class depending on payload and reserves, and it typically carries about 16–24 passengers in high‑density seating (fewer in VIP or mission configurations). The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop business/utility airplane optimized for shorter runways and regional missions, offering about 1,500–1,800 nm range and usually seating 6–11 passengers. The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin business jet, designed for intercontinental travel with about 7,000+ nm range and typically configured for around 12–19 passengers (with higher‑density options). The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a high‑speed twin‑turboprop business aircraft positioned between turboprops and light jets, generally offering about 1,400–1,800 nm range and seating about 6–9 passengers. Overall, the G700 leads on range and cabin size, the H225 leads on vertical‑lift utility, and the King Air 360ER and Avanti EVO cover efficient regional missions with turboprop economics.
