Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bell 525 Relentless vs Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E

The Airbus H225 and Bell 525 Relentless are long‑range, heavy/large helicopters aimed at offshore, SAR, and utility missions. Both typically carry around 16–19 passengers in transport layouts, with real‑world range commonly in the roughly 500–700 nautical mile class depending on payload, reserves, and mission equipment; the H225 is proven in high‑payload offshore roles, while the 525 is a newer design targeting similar capacity with modern avionics. The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a large long‑range business airliner derivative, operating in an entirely different category from the helicopters. With auxiliary tanks and executive configuration, it targets intercontinental range on the order of about 6,000+ nautical miles, and passenger capacity varies widely by interior but is often several dozen passengers (commonly around 25–50) rather than the MAX 9’s airline seating. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a long‑range large‑cabin business jet, typically seating about 13–14 passengers, with range roughly around 3,900–4,000 nautical miles, suited to transoceanic or deep continental missions with fewer passengers than the BBJ but with a dedicated business‑jet cabin.
