Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Robinson R66

The Airbus H225 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter optimized for offshore transport, search and rescue, and utility lift. It typically carries around 16–19 passengers in an offshore-style cabin (more in high-density layouts) and offers roughly a 450–500+ nautical mile class range depending on payload and reserves. The Agusta/Leonardo AW189 is a super‑medium twin helicopter, smaller and lighter than the H225, commonly configured for about 12–16 passengers, with a similar “few hundred nautical miles” range band, often around 450–500 nm with typical mission payloads. The Robinson R66 is a light single‑engine helicopter aimed at private, training, and light utility roles; it generally seats 4–5 passengers and has a shorter range, roughly in the 300–350 nm class. The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is in a different category altogether: a long‑range business jet based on a narrow‑body airliner. It carries far more people—typically a few dozen in VIP layouts, and up to around 200+ in airline seating—and flies several thousand nautical miles, commonly in the ~3,500–4,000 nm class, far exceeding the helicopters’ range and speed.
