Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bell 525 Relentless vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Embraer Legacy 650 E

The Airbus H225 and Bell 525 Relentless are large helicopters, while the Dassault Falcon 8X and Embraer Legacy 650E are long-range business jets. In category terms, the H225 is a heavy twin-engine rotorcraft optimized for utility and offshore missions; the Bell 525 is a modern super‑medium twin aimed at corporate and offshore use with higher cruise speed than traditional mediums. The Falcon 8X is an ultra‑long‑range trijet business jet, and the Legacy 650E is a long‑range, large‑cabin twinjet. For range, the business jets are in a different class: the Falcon 8X typically reaches about 6,450 nm, and the Legacy 650E about 3,900 nm. Helicopter range is far shorter: the H225 is roughly 450–500 nm depending on fit, and the Bell 525 is typically around 500–600 nm. Passenger capacity also differs by mission. The H225 can carry around 19 passengers (high-density) or fewer in VIP layouts, the Bell 525 commonly seats about 16–20. The Falcon 8X typically carries 12–16 in executive comfort, while the Legacy 650E is usually configured for about 13–14.
