The Airbus H225 and MD Helicopters 902 Explorer are both rotorcraft, while the Bell 525 Relentless is a newer, higher-speed, fly-by-wire super‑medium helicopter, and the Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a long-range VIP-configured business jet in a different class entirely. For category, the H225 is a heavy twin-engine helicopter optimized for offshore transport and utility missions; the Bell 525 is a super‑medium twin designed for faster point-to-point transport with modern avionics; the MD 902 is a light twin (NOTAR anti‑torque system) aimed at EMS, law enforcement, and corporate shuttle roles; the BBJ MAX 9 is a large-cabin business jet based on the 737 MAX 9 airliner platform. In range, the BBJ MAX 9 leads by a wide margin at roughly 6,000+ nautical miles depending on configuration, whereas the H225 and Bell 525 typically sit around the 500–600 nautical mile class, and the MD 902 is shorter, roughly around 300–400 nautical miles. For passenger capacity, the BBJ MAX 9 can be outfitted for a few dozen VIP passengers (or far more in airline seating), the H225 commonly carries around 19, the Bell 525 about 16–20, and the MD 902 typically about 8–10.
