Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Robinson R66

The Airbus H225 and Robinson R66 are helicopters, while the Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Piaggio Avanti EVO are fixed‑wing turboprops; that split largely determines range and capacity. The H225 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter designed for offshore and utility roles, typically carrying around 16–19 passengers in a transport configuration and offering roughly 400–500 nautical miles of range depending on payload and tanks. The Robinson R66 is a light turbine helicopter suited to short regional hops, normally seating a pilot plus up to four passengers, with about 300 nautical miles of range. The King Air 360ER is a long‑range, pressurized utility/business turboprop; it generally seats about 6–9 passengers and can reach roughly 1,800–2,000 nautical miles, making it strongest for extended point‑to‑point missions. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a high‑speed executive turboprop, typically configured for about 6–8 passengers, with around 1,500–1,800 nautical miles of range, emphasizing speed and efficiency over rough‑field utility.
