Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S‑92 are large twin‑engine helicopters, best suited to offshore, SAR, and utility missions where vertical takeoff matters more than speed or range. Both typically carry around 16–19 passengers in an offshore-style layout (higher in high‑density seating), with practical ranges on the order of roughly 450–550 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves; the H225 is often cited at the upper end of this band, while the S‑92 is broadly comparable. The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a long‑range VIP/business jetliner variant of the 737 MAX 9, optimized for intercity or intercontinental point‑to‑point travel. It has by far the greatest range, roughly 6,000+ nautical miles in typical BBJ configurations, and can be outfitted for a few dozen passengers in VIP layouts (or many more in airline seating). The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a fast turboprop business aircraft for regional missions, generally carrying about 6–9 passengers, with range typically around 1,500–1,800 nautical miles, bridging the gap between helicopters and large VIP jets in speed and operating cost.
