Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bell 525 Relentless vs Gulfstream G700 vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer

The Airbus H225 and MD Helicopters 902 Explorer are rotorcraft aimed at utility and passenger lift, while the Bell 525 Relentless targets higher-end offshore/corporate missions with more speed and technology; the Gulfstream G700 is a long-range business jet in a different class altogether. In range, the G700 dominates with roughly 7,500 nautical miles, enabling true intercontinental trips. Among the helicopters, the H225 typically offers the longest legs, commonly around 450–500+ nautical miles depending on fit, with the Bell 525 in a similar ballpark (often cited around 500–560 nautical miles), and the 902 Explorer shorter, roughly around 300–350 nautical miles. For passenger capacity, the G700 generally carries up to about 19 in high-density configurations (with fewer in typical executive layouts). The H225 is the people-mover of the helicopters, commonly configured around 16–19 passengers (and more in maximum-density seating). The Bell 525 is typically around 16–20 depending on layout. The 902 Explorer is smaller, usually seating about 7–9 passengers.
