Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Robinson R66

The Airbus H225 and Robinson R66 are helicopters, while the Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Gulfstream G700 are fixed‑wing business aircraft. In category terms, the H225 is a heavy, long‑range twin‑engine utility/offshore helicopter, whereas the R66 is a light, single‑engine turbine helicopter typically used for short‑haul transport and training. The King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft optimized for efficient regional missions, and the G700 is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin business jet built for intercontinental travel. For range, the G700 is by far the longest‑legged, capable of true intercontinental distances (roughly 7,000+ nautical miles). The King Air 360ER offers long regional range for a turboprop (on the order of 1,500–2,000+ nautical miles depending on payload and reserves). The H225’s helicopter range is typically a few hundred nautical miles and is highly mission‑dependent, while the R66 is shorter still, generally a few hundred nautical miles at most. For passenger capacity, the G700 commonly seats around 13–19 in executive layouts. The King Air 360ER typically carries about 8–11. The H225 can carry around 16–19 depending on configuration, while the R66 generally seats 4 passengers plus a pilot.
