Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bell 525 Relentless vs Boeing Bbj Max 9

The Airbus H225 and Bell 525 Relentless are long-range twin‑engine helicopters designed for missions such as offshore transport, search and rescue, and executive shuttle, while the Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a long-range business jetliner based on a narrowbody airliner and aimed at VIP travel between major cities. In range terms, the BBJ MAX 9 is in a different class, offering intercontinental capability on the order of roughly 6,000+ nautical miles depending on configuration, whereas the H225 and 525 typically operate in the several-hundred–nautical‑mile range, generally around the 500–700 nm class depending on payload and reserves. Passenger capacity also separates them: the H225 is commonly configured for about 19 passengers (and can be arranged higher in high-density layouts), the Bell 525 is typically around 16–20 passengers depending on cabin fit, and the BBJ MAX 9 can accommodate far more than either helicopter—often fitted for a few dozen VIP passengers in luxury layouts, but capable of well over 100 in airline-style seating if configured that way.
