Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Leonardo Aw189

The Airbus H225 and Leonardo AW189 are twin‑engine helicopters aimed at vertical lift missions rather than long‑range point‑to‑point travel. In category, both sit in the “super‑medium” class, with the H225 generally larger. Typical range is on the order of a few hundred nautical miles, and passenger capacity is usually in the mid‑teens to around twenty depending on seating and fuel; both are often configured for VIP, offshore, or SAR layouts. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a long‑range business jet in the large‑cabin category, designed for intercity and some intercontinental missions. It typically carries around 13 passengers in executive configuration and offers roughly 3,900 nautical miles of range, depending on reserves and conditions. The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a VIP airliner based on the 737 MAX 9, in a much larger category than the Legacy. It offers the longest range of the group—roughly in the 3,500–3,800 nautical mile class—and can be outfitted for high‑capacity VIP travel, commonly several dozen passengers, though layouts vary widely.
