Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bell 525 Relentless vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S‑92 are heavy, twin‑engine helicopters optimized for offshore transport and utility missions rather than long-distance cruise. In typical passenger-transport configurations, both commonly carry around 16–19 passengers (higher in high-density layouts). Their operational range is broadly in the few-hundred‑nautical‑mile class; the H225 is often cited around the ~450–500 nm range, while the S‑92 is commonly cited around ~500–550 nm depending on payload and reserves. The Bell 525 Relentless is a newer “super‑medium” twin helicopter positioned between medium and heavy classes. It typically seats about 16 passengers and targets a longer range than many peers, often quoted around ~560–700 nm depending on configuration. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large-cabin business jet, not a helicopter, and sits in a different category focused on high-speed, long-range point-to-point travel. It carries up to 13–14 passengers in a typical executive layout and offers intercontinental-class range around ~3,900–4,000 nm, far exceeding the helicopters.
