Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Enstrom 480b vs Gulfstream G700

The Airbus H225 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter suited to offshore transport, SAR, and utility work; its practical range is roughly 450–700 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves, and it typically carries about 16–19 passengers in a transport layout (higher density possible with tradeoffs). The Enstrom 480B is a light single‑engine piston helicopter aimed at training, patrol, and personal/utility missions; range is about 250–350 nautical miles and capacity is 4–5 people including the pilot. The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet optimized for intercontinental travel; range is about 7,700 nautical miles and it commonly seats 8–19 passengers depending on configuration. The Gulfstream G700 is a large‑cabin ultra‑long‑range business jet focused on speed and cabin volume; range is about 7,500 nautical miles and typical seating is roughly 10–19 passengers. Overall, the helicopters trade speed and range for vertical‑lift access, while the two business jets prioritize long nonstop routes with higher cruise speed and premium cabin comfort.
