Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Enstrom 480b vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Airbus H225 and Enstrom 480B are helicopters, while the Bombardier Global 7500 and Piaggio Avanti EVO are fixed‑wing business aircraft. The H225 is a heavy twin‑engine transport helicopter suited to offshore, SAR, and utility missions; it offers relatively short range compared with jets but can carry a large cabin load, typically around 19 passengers in high‑density seating (often fewer in VIP layouts). The Enstrom 480B is a light single‑engine piston helicopter with much shorter range and a small cabin, generally seating up to 5 including the pilot. The Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet designed for intercontinental missions, with the greatest range of the group (roughly 7,700 nautical miles) and a typical passenger load around 14–19 depending on configuration. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft; it has substantially less range than the Global 7500 (about 1,500–1,800 nautical miles typical) but more than either helicopter, and usually carries about 7–9 passengers in executive seating.
