Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Piper M600 Sls

The Airbus H225 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter suited to vertical‑lift missions rather than point‑to‑point airport travel. It typically carries a large cabin load (often around 16–19 passengers depending on configuration) and offers medium long-range helicopter endurance, roughly in the 400–500+ nautical mile class with reserves, optimized for offshore and utility work. The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a long‑range twin‑turboprop business/utility airplane. It generally seats about 6–9 passengers in executive layouts and is built for extended legs, commonly around 1,500+ nautical miles depending on payload and conditions. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a high‑speed twin‑turboprop business aircraft emphasizing jet‑like cruise speeds with turboprop economics. Passenger capacity is typically 6–8, and range is usually in the ~1,400–1,700 nautical mile class. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop personal/owner‑flown aircraft. It is smaller, usually 5–6 seats, with range commonly around ~1,200–1,500 nautical miles depending on load and cruise settings.
