Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Daher Tbm 960

The Airbus H225 is a heavy, twin‑engine helicopter designed for utility missions such as offshore transport and search and rescue. Compared with the two fixed‑wing aircraft, its range is shorter, typically in the several‑hundred‑nautical‑mile class depending on payload and reserves, but it can carry a relatively large cabin load for a helicopter, commonly up to around 19 passengers in high‑density seating (fewer in VIP or mission configurations). The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet optimized for intercontinental travel. It offers the longest range of the three at roughly 7,700 nautical miles, and typically seats about 14 to 19 passengers in executive layouts (with higher maximum capacity depending on certification and configuration). The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop intended for fast personal and business transport. It has a much shorter range than the Global 7500 but generally longer than the H225, around 1,400 nautical miles typical, and it carries far fewer people, usually 4 to 6 passengers plus a pilot, depending on how it’s equipped.
