Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Piper M600 Sls

The Airbus H225 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter, best suited to offshore, search‑and‑rescue, and utility missions where vertical lift matters more than speed. It typically carries around 16–19 passengers in transport layouts and has a range on the order of roughly 450–650 nautical miles depending on configuration. The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet optimized for intercontinental nonstop travel. It seats about 14–19 passengers in typical executive configurations (higher in dense seating) and offers roughly 7,700 nautical miles of range. The Dassault Falcon 8X is also an ultra‑long‑range business jet, generally a bit smaller than the Global 7500. It commonly accommodates around 12–16 passengers and has about 6,450 nautical miles of range. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop, positioned for efficient regional and owner‑pilot operations rather than transoceanic range. It typically seats 5–6 passengers and has a range of roughly 1,200–1,600 nautical miles depending on reserves and cruise settings.
